The American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes : The Ultimate Home Diabetes Reference

This is the all-in-one guide to diabetes, produced by the top authorities in the field, the American Diabetes Association. Well-written and accessible, yet encyclopedic in scope, this home reference book offers expert advice on how to manage your diabetes in 13 information-packed chapters. Diabetics who are insulin dependent and those who are not will find useful information and guidance on self care and how to put together the best health care team for you. Topics covered include blood-sugar control, exercise, healthy eating, complications, pregnancy, lifestyle issues and more. The ins and outs of insulin are covered, with an appendix on how to administer insulin. Approximately 16 million people in the United States have diabetes, with an additional 650,000 people newly diagnosed each year. While there are other books about diabetes, none have the endorsement--or authority--of the American Diabetes Association, nor are they as comprehensive.
