Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is the first entry in the publisher's "First Year" series, which seeks to set itself apart from other health advice lines with its authors all "patient-experts." Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1996, Becker quickly learned that there are many ways to approach diabetes care. She uses appropriate humor and presents basic information to take the reader through each day of the first week, each subsequent week of the first month, and the next 11 months after diagnosis. Emphasizing the self-management skills that all diabetics must master for adequate control of the disease, Becker addresses the questions not always anticipated or answered by healthcare providers. For instance, she covers necessary and optional tests, diet, drugs, weight and stress management, and the emotional strain of the disorder. Her sections on insurance and paying medical bills are excellent. Internet diabetes expert Rick Mendoza has also contributed a chapter on online resources. Other useful features include a glossary, reading list, and further resources. This excellent volume should inspire patients to manage prudently their disease. Recommended for consumer health collections. Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp., Tampa, FL

From AudioFile
Smartly abridged and read with the formality appropriate to a medical topic, this is an excellent audio for people newly diagnosed with Type 2 (non-insulin- dependent) diabetes. Spelling out the eating modifications and other lifestyle changes that the disorder typically requires, the author offers many medical details without sounding clinical. This should be a real plus for people who are not used to focusing so intensely on their health or who see the diagnosis as a stigma or punishment. As empowering as it is intelligent, thanks to the quiet optimism of Kate Reading's narration, the program should be encouraging for people confronting this type of challenge for the first time.
