Understanding Diabetes 10 th edition by H. Peter Chase,
By leslie sellars (Albany, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Diabetes (Paperback)
I am a diabetes educator and this is the book I recommend to all the parents of a child that has diabetes. When a child is first diagnosed with diabetes the parents are overwhelmed with information and do not remember everything the nurse or doctor tells them and I find that this book gives all the information in a nut shell. It will also help answer the everyday questions of What "if". It is a excellent resource and gives very good examples of what the bloodsugar should be for each age, how much food to give for exercise, the action of insulin how to treat low blood sugar and what to do on days that your child is sick. etc. It gives pretty much all the information you need.

Older Onset Type 1,
This review is from: Understanding Diabetes (Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 24. This book was extremely helpful to me. It was not too simple for me and I read it several times. Now, as a medical student, I recommend it to patients of all ages as a great place to start learning about Type 1 DM. I have not encountered its equal.

The Diabetes Bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Diabetes (Paperback)
This book explains what you need to know if you/your child are newly diagnosed in an easy to understand language. We were given the book while our daughter was in the hospital, and even though we have many more books in our diabetes library now, this one has the most marked pages, and is definitely the one we read the most, especially in the first year.
