Packed with charts, guides, and advice, this complete health management system helps to organize and simplify the lives of people with diabetes. A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes means a lifetime of monitoring both diet and blood sugar, and with the planning tools in this handbook, patients can keep track of test results, contact information, and medication records. The organizer features 12-month check-up charts, envelopes and pockets for bills and business cards, and a 30-day journal to get readers into the routine of daily care. By looking beyond bare facts and providing real goals for living with type 2 diabetes, this book serves as a constant companion for vital self-care.

Making Diabetes Easier,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Diabetes Organizer: The Essential Planner and Record-Keeper to Manage Your Type 2 Diabetes (Spiral-bound)
This is the book I have been trying to make for myself out a notebook. It is very easy to use and is even a boone for the Dr. to see how you Diabetes is doing. This can go to the Dr. with you, and answer all those "I don't know" questions.
Easy to fill in, and take with me on travels in case of emergency.

Great but one problem,

This review is from: My Diabetes Organizer: The Essential Planner and Record-Keeper to Manage Your Type 2 Diabetes (Spiral-bound)
This is great for helping you learn how to take care of your diabetes. The only draw back on this is that once you use up all the forms and information is documented, you cannot add to this book. Once used its not useful anymore. There's no way to add sheets for continuing your care. It will just be good to read after that. So I'm glad I have it to help me learn but I will have to find another way of keeping track.
