Frequently Asked Questions about Diabetes

By Judy Levin

Book Overview

Diabetes is seldom discussed in the teen arena, despite more and more young adults getting diagnosed. This book about one of the world's fastest-rising diseases both guides readers who have been diagnosed, and imparts practical information ranging from which new insulin medications are available to methods of keeping track of carbohydrates. With an authoritative and realistic voice, the author dispels common myths about diabetes and provides hope to young people living with this lifelong illness. This book is especially relevant for the teen that is at risk or recently diagnosed as it addresses topics specific to that age group, such as balancing the want for independence and the need to get help.
