as of Sept 2, 2009, this book has 3 reviews that relate to a previous edition--but the praise given earlier remains valid for this new 3rd edition. This book from the American Diabetes Association is superb, not only for diabetics, but probably for everybody--and especially for fat Americans of all ages who are setups for diabetes. Diabetes is a growing epidemic because of our obesity, addiction to fast food, lack of exercise. Not just our genetics. Non-diabetics should know that complications of diabetes are the same diseases that too many non-diabetics also will get. This book explains them all. As health care gets incresingly complex (especially from multiple providers and scattered medical records), every person must become the manager of his/her own health. This book is a great addition to anybody's health library.

Now in an expanded and updated second edition, The Uncomplicated Guide To Diabetes Complications covers the major systems of the body and how they're affected by diabetes; from the heart to the eyes and teeth. Various chapters cover how these systems normally work, how they are affected by diabetes, and common signs of complications. The latest treatment options are included in a fine guide that covers all the ways diabetes affects the body.

I found the book had good information and was written in simple easy to understand wording. A good book for new diabetics.

The book I ordered was sent properly and arrived in excellent condition. will definitely order from vender again

I borrowed this book from the library, then decided I needed my own personal copy.

I found this to be a very complete book on diabetes, as well as easy to read. It's also up-to-date. If you are looking to have just one book on diabetes, this is a good one.
