4.0 out of 5 stars Finally Understandable, June 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Diabetes A to Z : What You Need to Know About Diabetes--Simply Put (Paperback)
Diabetes is finally understandable. It explains in everyday language the ins and outs of the disease. It covers a little of most topics that need to be explained ex: weightloss,food plans,diseases,foot problems,and many more. It also explains the various problems to be on the look out for and what to do if any are encountered. As someone newly diagnoised I found it a great starting point !
