Written by James W. Reed M.D., M.A.C.P, F.A.C.E., and Agiua Heath, M.D., Living With Diabetes: A Guide for Patients and Parents is a no-nonsense guide written especially for lay readers, that takes the confusion out of what diabetes is and how best to treat it and live with it. From the different forms of diabetes that are commonly seen in adults and children, to why African-Americans are at risk, to recommended diet and exercise regimens, to how to deal with episodes of hypoglycemia, work with health care providers, or take proper care of oneself when pregnant and diabetic, Living With Diabetes is an absolute "must-have" for anyone who needs practical information on dealing with the condition, whether for oneself, a friend, or a loved one. Highly recommended.
