A "must have" for diabetes care!,

This review is from: Understanding Diabetes, 11th Edition (Paperback)
We were given the previous edition of this book in the hospital when our son was initially diagnosed with Type I diabetes. It was referenced in every appointment and class following that. When the new edition came out, we knew we needed it to have current information at our fingertips. It is easy to read and reference - you do not need to be in the medical field to understand it - you simply need to know someone with diabetes that you want to help!

Saved my son's life several times ...,
This review is from: Understanding Diabetes, 11th Edition (Paperback)
We were given a copy of this book when my son was first diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes five years ago. The information in this book has literally saved his life ... not to mention my sanity! It is well organized and you don't have to read it all at once, which is especially important for newly diagnosed kids and their overwhelmed parents. The sick day information proved invaluable ...

Best book about type 1 diabetes available,
By akikodancer "Laura" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Diabetes, 11th Edition (Paperback)
A must-have for all people and families with type 1 diabetes. Each edition is ahead of the game with information about all the new and upcoming types of treatment options (insulin, continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, etc.) I have bought every edition since I was diagnosed with diabetes 15 years ago and will continue to buy all future editions.
