Book Description

February 25, 2003 1580401570 978-1580401579 1

Diabetes is a way of life, one that no one chooses but that some people are obligated to live nonetheless. Newly diagnosed people are required to follow all kinds of rules, change the way they've always lived, and struggle to retain their identity despite the new things that dictate the way they live. Mastering Your Diabetes is a "you can do it: here's how" book that helps people with diabetes adopt their new way of life with a sense of humor.

In this book, written by a diabetes health care professional who has also lived with diabetes for more than 25 years, readers gain valuable insight (and inspiration) from someone who understands.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Waisted Words, Just Understanding, September 23, 2007
This review is from: Mastering Your Diabetes : A Simple Plan for Taking Control of your Health (Paperback)
I want to recommend this book to anyone who has diabetes or is involved with someone who has it for the very simple reason that it makes understanding the disease and what to do about it something that everyone can read.

The no-nonsense approach spells out just what is going on, why it is happening and how you can easily take back control of your life and your health. The writing of the book takes the guess work out of understanding where other books I've read seem to go to deeply into the science of the problems without relating them to everyday experience.

If you are in this situation and you need someone to talk plainly to you about it, give this book a try. Ithink you will be glad you did.
