Diabetes Books

This is unofficially the Best book that I have read on the subject of Diabetes. The format is clear, concise, and informative. The tips and hints in the margins make it interesting while being genuinely helpfull. The book is a comprehensive one spanning the history of the disease to the future of research for a cure. It addresses both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, explaining the differences as well as the ways the 2 types parallel. I recommend this book for anyone who lives with Diabetes and for those who love someone living with the disease. Warning! The size of this book may make the reader wary. However, because of the way it is formatted it is a quick read. You"ll want to keep it on hand as a reference.

this book is from the 80's, and is still the best comprehansive book on both types of diabetes. it explains the causes of both types and gives true workable answers to those two forms of disease.it is still superb book today at the year 2000,and you can take it from me beacause i am a therapist ,and it is working, i can asure you that it is real for both types of diabetes.go ahead, buy that book today.

A truely great read. It is educational as well as entertaining. It shows you what can happen to you if you don't take care of your diabeties, but it is done in a true life story. It tells of the innerworkings of a diabetics mind and the things they can go through.
It encouraged me to keep to my medical plan and stay on my diet even though it is a hard thing to do.

A must read for anyone with a diabetic child written by the preeminent expert in the field and current president of the international diabetes foundation.

This book is a joy to read. As a reader, you are swept along on a journey of exploration to discover how you can defeat the enemy, diabetes.

Easy to understand language for a technical subject, and the author's passion of providing help for the diabetic, or to prevent it, comes through.

Especially liked the chapter, "Let's All Fight for the Children" , and also the Chapter on stress reduction.

Interesting book about storiesof real life by the way they live with diabetes, the hope, and the need of many friends that understand you.

This book fulfills a need in the world of diabetic cookbooks. Nearly all diabetic cookbooks include recipes for traditional American home food cooking (e.g., meatloaf, oven fried chicken, etc.), and after looking through one or two of these books, the recipes become redundant. For diabetics whose tastes are more exotic, prefering the foods of Asia or India for example, diabetic cookbooks offer very little. This book is the exception. Kay Spicer has put together a wonderful collection of recipes that range from Japanese to Italian to Portuguese to Eastern European foods. Some of the ingredients are exotic, but not unfamiliar, to those used to cooking international foods. Hopefully, more international diabetic cookbooks will be produced in the near future. With the increasing number of Latinos and Asians being diagnosed with diabetes, the need definitely exists.

Very encouraging. A must read for every parent or kid who has diabetes. If you can play 9 years in the NFL with diabetes, you can do anything.

This beautiful, photo-filled book provides much needed emotional support and wise guidance for the parents of newly diagnosed diabetic children. It would be a valuable to tool to the young people themselves and their extended families, teachers and friends. For everyone else, it is a very touching and inspiring collection of stories of some very heroic young people who live in different cultures all over the world. It just grabbed my heart.

The photographer has an extraordinary knack for catching the sparkle in the eyes of these brave children. The result is a work of art - a coffee table book about a serious topic. Hala Khalaf's interviewing skills respectfully open windows into the lives and minds of each young person: how they yearn for normalcy, how they learned of their diagnosis, how they find their own ways to cope, and how they bloom when they learn about other young people with diabetes.

Like the beautiful UNICEF/DK book, "Children Just Like Me", by Barnabus and Annabelle Kindersley, each vignette zooms into homes in places like western Siberia, Denmark, and Tanzania, revealing a dash of geography, a taste of the culture and cuisine, favorite pastimes and lots of rich imagery. Some would make good bedtime stories for little ones (and their parents) by helping them to know they are not alone and they will learn to thrive and have happy lives in partnership with their diabetes. The four students from Lewis and Clark College, in Portland Oregon, are inspirational role models as they describe their full, independent, generous lives and their bold aspirations for the future.

Our national thirst for contrived reality shows would be better served by reading some of these authentic stories, which do not shy away from the tough aspects of diabetes or the heart-wrenching heroism and hope.
