This is an excellent book for diabetics, no matter what type. Gives hints to control diabetes, importance of testing, controlling stress, things to look out for, complications. Dr. Juliano writes a compelling book on the disease and give pointers on how to live a normal, healthy life, without complications. I am diabetic, and highly recommend this book. I hope too, that Dr. Juliano re-issues this book. It is a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago Tribune, 1994:, February 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: When Diabetes Complicates Your Life (Paperback)

An endocrinologist and research scientist and juvenile-onset diabetic for (more than) thirty years, blind as a result of the disease, Joseph Juliano knows what he is talking about. Denial, he writes, is common. There's no cure for diabetes now and it is folly to pretend that diabetes will have not effect on the diabetic's life. His strength is getting the diabetic involved in managing the disease and living with it. This he accomplishes with authority and sensitivity.
