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.

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.

A good book for anyone interested in self-help, or positive thinking. You have to take the journey, but not alone. This book can serve as a partner to you - through your own self-discovery of your life and diabetes.

You will find both this book
and it's new revised edition to
be helpful long-term.

This is the type of book on diabetes
you will want to keep on your book shelf or
bedside table and refer to for many years.

It is also an excellant book for those
who do not suffer from diabetes, but who have friends or family who do,
and want to learn more about the disease for themselves.

This book is extraordinary for at least two reasons. First, it is written in an explicity honest, open style with great intuition into the emotional impact of diabetes on a person's daily life and into the long term hassles related to the affliction. Second, no matter how well informed the reader is, much can be learned from the simple and lucid approach utilized to explain the complications confronting the diabetic individual.

I plan to utilize this book for newly diagnosed early-onset diabetic patients (age 15+ years), with the strong recommendation that it be kept and re-read after the patient has lived with diabetes for at least 5 years.

People who will benefit the most from the book are those who have struggled with the daily difficulties, denials, and fears that challenge their lives. For those of us without diabetes, reading this book will improve our understanding of the mental struggles confronting patients with diabetes.
-Jeanne R. Bonar, MD - text's 1993 rev.

Dimensions in time flutter and waiver,
to the majestic sympathic algorythyms of reality.
But what of this time
This time of now
This time of you
This time of me
This dimension in time of you and me.
Oh brutal reality oh exquisite fantasies,
Permutations beyond glass rainbows abound.
Cry out to me not softly your dreams.
Thinsil thin glass surrounds a framework of heavy metal
as I look into her soul to witness synchronistic chromatic colors.
Spring forth oh beautiful glass butterly
and as you take on life's blood flow
emerge into the aura and redefine
the colors of rainbows in the dark for him.
