Summary: "Change your diabetes not your lifestyle"
Review: The purpose of this book is to help people with diabetes learn to "control and change their diabetes in order to maintain their lifestyle; instead of having to change their lifestyle because of their diabetes or its complications". Who is this book for? ITS FOR ALL PEOPLE WITH DIABETES. Specifically, this book is for:

--- people with diabetes and without complications, in order to learn methods and tests to prevent or delay diabetes complications,

--- people with diabetes who already have early manifestations of complications but may not realize it yet, in order to identify and treat these complications at an early stage and thereby delay or prevent the onset of more advanced conditions,

--- people with diabetes who have already developed complications, in order to determine treatment options and clinical regimes which will help not only with therapy but also quality of life.

Each chapter was written by experts in the field, edited by both e! ditors, rewritten by a medical writer (for style consistency and readability) and reedited by both editors. Thus, it is a book that contains up-to-date information about diabetes and its complications but has a consistent easy-reading style.

Summary: Ending diabetes denial
Review: There are two reasons why every diabetic should own this book: (1) It is the best source I've found to combat what is manifest with every disease: denial! You cannot read this and continue to behave in ways that guarantee diabetes complications. (2) Its print is large enough for those of us whose eyesight has been compromised by diabetes.

READ THIS BOOK if you have diabetes!

Summary: NBC Today Show
Review: This book was recently profiled on the NBC Today Show (September 24, 1998). It was part of the "Forever Young Series" of the Today Show (producer: Susan Dutcher). It was profiled, in part, because of the many important messages it contains for people with diabetes.

Summary: excellent
Review: This is a superb overview of diabetes complications written in easily understandable layman's language. It covers many types of complications and gives causes, symptoms and treatments for them. Even more important - a great deal of information on prevention is also given. This book is for those who suffer from this condition and those who care about them.
