suberb book

as of Sept 2, 2009, this book has 3 reviews that relate to a previous edition--but the praise given earlier remains valid for this new 3rd edition. This book from the American Diabetes Association is superb, not only for diabetics, but probably for everybody--and especially for fat Americans of all ages who are setups for diabetes. Diabetes is a growing epidemic because of our obesity, addiction to fast food, lack of exercise. Not just our genetics. Non-diabetics should know that complications of diabetes are the same diseases that too many non-diabetics also will get. This book explains them all. As health care gets incresingly complex (especially from multiple providers and scattered medical records), every person must become the manager of his/her own health. This book is a great addition to anybody's health library.

From the heart to the eyes and teeth

Now in an expanded and updated second edition, The Uncomplicated Guide To Diabetes Complications covers the major systems of the body and how they're affected by diabetes; from the heart to the eyes and teeth. Various chapters cover how these systems normally work, how they are affected by diabetes, and common signs of complications. The latest treatment options are included in a fine guide that covers all the ways diabetes affects the body.

Ending diabetes denial

There are two reasons why every diabetic should own this book: (1) It is the best source I've found to combat what is manifest with every disease: denial! You cannot read this and continue to behave in ways that guarantee diabetes complications. (2) Its print is large enough for those of us whose eyesight has been compromised by diabetes.READ THIS BOOK if you have diabetes!
