From the experts at the world-renowned medical institution, clear information on diabetes and "practical advice on all aspects of care" (Publishers Weekly).

Living with diabetes is a balancing act of monitoring blood glucose, food intake, and medication. It makes sense that individuals who have diabetes do best when they understand their condition and how to control it.

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetesis a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide to this complex condition, answering questions such as: What are the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? How are the different forms of this disease treated? Can gestational diabetes become a permanent condition? Can diabetes ever be managed successfully with diet and exercise alone?


The second edition of this valued resource includes up-to-date information on • How diabetes is diagnosed • The two types of diabetes • The role of genetics • Improvements in blood glucose measurement • Good nutrition and regular exercise • Insulin and non-insulin medications • Insulin pumps • The emotional side of diabetes • How families are affected and how they can help • What to do if diabetes affects your work • Complications from head to toe


Written by a team of Johns Hopkins diabetes specialists, this authoritative guide will help people who have diabetes work effectively with their care team to control their condition and maintain good health.


"Presenting critical information about the physical, emotional, and psychosocial effects of diabetes, this valuable work explains the nature of the disease, treatments, diet and exercise, sexuality, pregnancy, and research." —Library Journal

This edition is an essential guide for individuals who has diabetes or been recently diagnosed. It could be described as a staple part of diabetes understanding and management."

Review

"A browse through any major bookstore will reveal a large number of books written for the layperson on the subject of diabetes mellitus. The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes is one that can be recommended for its clarity and sound scientific information on this disorder."

-- Richard D. Siegel, MD ― Nutrition in Clinical Care

"Presenting critical information about the physical, emotional, and psychosocial effects of diabetes, this valuable work explains the nature of the disease, treatments, diet and exercise, sexuality, pregnancy, and research."



"This comprehensive six-part guidebook aims to help diabetics take control of their condition. Aided by tables, diagrams, and lots of patient anecdotes, the authors identify major types of diabetes, how they are diagnosed and the various treatment options, including diet therapy, insulin, and oral medications. Practical advice on all aspects of care ranges from procedures for monitoring one's blood glucose, eating wisely, and exercising safely to handling the stress of a job interview and working with an HMO."

    This book had good information on diabetes, especially if it's new in your life. It was good to read some of the what-to-do, but for me it's very helpful to know the why behind those things.
