High seas, low blood sugars, and a journey that redefines resilience.


When Erin Spineto was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, she refused to let it define her life—or her dreams. Armed with determination, a trusty insulin pump, and a rebellious streak, she set out to do something extraordinary: sail solo through the Florida Keys.

From juggling blood sugar calculations on a sailboat to discovering the true meaning of resilience, Erin’s story is a blend of humor, raw honesty, and pure inspiration.


Whether you’ve ever felt boxed in by life’s challenges or simply love tales of personal triumph, Islands and Insulin will leave you laughing, crying, and ready to tackle whatever life throws your way—one wave at a time.

About Me

ERIN SPINETO, author of Islands and Insulin, started surfing at age five when she stood up on her boogie board and realized waves were so much more fun to ride standing up. Since then she has had a love affair with empty beaches, warm water, and a post-surf lunch of fish tacos and Diet Dr Pepper eaten on a patio in the sun with her own real life hero, Tony, and their two surfing teenagers.
