Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Seymour (endocrinology, Univ. of Miami Sch. of Medicine) has added another readable book to the diabetes bookshelf. A major strength of his work is its showing basic tasks such as foot care and the preparation and injection of insulin through step-by-step procedures and line drawings. Complications are explained well, and brief sections on how diabetes affects the young, Hispanics, and African Americans are included. One caveat: Seymour specifically recommends the Pritikin diet, though it is of questionable value for underweight or some Type I diabetics. This book will effectively complement, but not replace, the more comprehensive and authoritative American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes (LJ 8/96) or the Joslyn Guide to Diabetes (LJ 7/95).?Janet M.

From Booklist
Need an up-to-date popular book on living with diabetes? Neatly arranged and organized, this layperson's guide may fill the bill. Written in a kindly but not overly chummy manner and definitely for the mass audience (there are very few confusing scientific terms or explanations), it includes a large glossary and plenty of lists and illustrations. Some of the latter are a bit cartoonish, but a little levity in the face of life-altering disease can be a good thing. Sections on weight control, hygiene, insulin, and treatment options present both time-honored and newer advice, and chapters on travel and on diabetes in African Americans and Hispanics are handy inclusions.
