Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The authors, both diabetes educators, provide the basics about diabetes--types and causes, methods of control, complications--found in other diabetes manuals. Their book's strengths are its extensive appendixes, illustrations that include lists of exercise/calorie expenditures, a glossary, bibliography, a guide to diabetes camps for children, tables illustrating foot care and various forms of insulin. Particularly useful is the consumer's guide to insulin injection devices. A good companion to June Biermann and Barbara

An excellent overall guide to understanding Diabetes.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diabetes Sourcebook : Today's Methods and Ways to Give Yourself the Best Care (Paperback)
This book is perfect for the recently diagnosed or anyone with a family member or friend who has diabetes. It covers all the topics and issues in a way that is intelligent, sensitive and yet does not flinch from the issues. From learning how to use your meter to dealing with family members, this is a diabetes information course and a sourcebook to refer back to over and over. I used Diana Guthrie's book to educate myself when my doctor turned me loose with no diet, no information and no idea of how to use my meter. This book is NOT a self diagnosing cure-all, BUT IT WAS the band aid between meeting in a diabetes educational session with a medical professional (which took three weeks, and that's a long time to wait for help) and being scared and knowing nothing. Thank you, Ms. Guthrie. In addition, I have been recommending this book to fellow diabetics. An extraordinary book on the subject, and absolutely invaluable.
