Learn to prevent or minimize the health problems that accompany diabetes without letting the disease rule your life.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Nurse and medical writer Fromer (Surviving Childhood Cancer, American Psychiatric Pr., 1995) recalls her grief and despair after being diagnosed with diabetes and how she took control of the disease through education and information. Comparing learning the diabetes lifestyle to learning to drive a car, she emphasizes the fright involved in both activities until experience teaches control. She discusses diet, exercise, medications, self-management issues, health complications, and societal issues while baldly presenting the health consequences of uncontrolled diabetes. Fromer makes exercise sound downright attractive, and the insurance information is excellent; she also highlights sexuality, including new medications such as Viagra. Her chapters on childhood diabetes are valuable as well. The reading level is, at times, quite high, but motivated readers will find this a good complement to the American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes (LJ 8/96). A worthy addition to health collections.?Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans Hosp., Tampa,
