Customer Reviews

An excellent overall guide to understanding Diabetes.

This book is perfect for the recently diagnosed or anyone with a family member or friend who has diabetes. It covers all the topics and issues in a way that is intelligent, sensitive and yet does not flinch from the issues. From learning how to use your meter to dealing with family members, this is a diabetes information course and a sourcebook to refer back to over and over. I used Diana Guthrie's book to educate myself when my doctor turned me loose with no diet, no information and no idea of how to use my meter. This book is NOT a self diagnosing cure-all, BUT IT WAS the band aid between meeting in a diabetes educational session with a medical professional (which took three weeks, and that's a long time to wait for help) and being scared and knowing nothing. Thank you, Ms. Guthrie. In addition, I have been recommending this book to fellow diabetics. An extraordinary book on the subject, and absolutely invaluable.
