"This comprehensive six-part guidebook aims to help diabetics take control of their condition. Aided by tables, diagrams, and lots of patient anecdotes, the authors identify major types of diabetes, how they are diagnosed and the various treatment options, including diet therapy, insulin, and oral medications. Practical advice on all aspects of care ranges from procedures for monitoring one's blood glucose, eating wisely, and exercising safely to handling the stress of a job interview and working with an HMO."
