Review: If your looking for detailed guidance on some of the problems of diabetics you want find it here. Was this written by people knowledgable in the field? Examples: If a antibiotic salve takes more than a few days to work call your doctor; slow healing is directly related to poor blood sugar control. Otherwise all cursory stuff you might find in pamphlets at the doctor's office.

Review: This book by the American Diabetes Association does a commendable job of reviewing many of the basic issues surrounding diabetes. It is a nice starting point for a newly diagnosed patient but does not offer much detail for the more seasoned person with diabetes. The information is well laid out and succinctly explained. For those looking for more details and references I would recommend the ENCYCLOPEDIA of DIABETES by Petit and Adamec.
