This review is from: How to Prevent, Control & Cure Diabetes (Hardcover)

It is such a relief to have an up-to-date book about diabetes that's readable and understandable. It answers so many questions that my doctors don't have time to answer, and it gives me so much information on issues I never even thought about! Thank you, Dr. Alterman
