This large
(nearly 500 pages) book covers pretty much all aspects of diabetes- diet,
insulin, other meds, types of diabetes, complications, mental health, sexual
health, and legal issues. It doesn’t cover most of it in great depth- if you’re
looking for a deep discussion of diet and carb counting, for instance, you’ll
want to seek out a book devoted just to that. But for a newcomer to diabetes,
whether the reader is the diabetic or a family member, it’s a great starting
place because it has such a wide scope. Not all sections will be pertinent to a
reader, since it covers children and adults, hiring discrimination, sports,
dealing with school etc but any diabetic will find a lot that does pertain to
them. It’s written in a non-textbook style and easy to understand by
non-medical personnel. While it didn’t tell me anything really new, I wish it
had been available 28 years ago when I developed diabetes!
