Summary: The emphasis is on the individual's responsibility
Comment: The Everything Diabetes Book is the latest in an educational series which provides a well researched thumbnail sketch of the basic definition(s) of diabetes diagnosis, treatment, control, and special issues. The emphasis is on the individual's responsibility and capability to take control and make every effort to lead a healthy life with the complication of diabetes. The Everything Diabetes Book is an excellent resource for the newly diagnosed diabetic, or the person close to him or her. Helpful information and advice is presented in nonjudgemental yet no-nonsense fashion. In all 22 chapters are offered, covering definitions of three major types of diabetes, diagnosis and tests, self monitoring of blood glucose, insulin and oral medications, diet, exercise, weight loss, emergencies, complications, the diabetic foot, kids and diabetes, special issues for women and men, emotions relationships, and living with diabetes, daily life with diabetes, and the search for a cure. Helpful charts and meaningful statistics are embedded in the text frequently. Additional appendices offer additional resources, glucose conversion charts, and preventative care guidelines. I particularly found the preventative guidelines to be helpful, as they offer a schedule for routine lab tests such as blood pressure and pulse, cholesterol (lipid panel), HbAlc, microalbumin, and comprehensive eye exams and foot exams. It can be confusing for the diabetic to know how often these things should be monitored by a Dr. in a routine care plan.
If there were ever a disease requiring a comprehensive team approach, diabetes is it. The Everything Diabetes Book presents a series of suggestions of ways in which different approaches and different professionals can be helpful. Again, the self help aspect is important, but the importance of professional medical supervision and monitoring is also emphasized. In general, The Everything Diabetes Book tends to be more like a basic bible of diabetes rather than a trendy survey of the latest alternative therapies, though some of that information is referred to.
There are many practical self help tips and facts and resources included for diabetics. All together, the Everything Diabetes Book is an excellent resource for the diabetic and family or friend(s). It can be a very frightening experience to receive the news that someone you love or you yourself are a diabetic. This book presents both the good and the "bad" news in easily digestible information bytes and in so doing, encourages the diabetic to take back a healthy control of their life.
Recommended for adults or (literate) teens with issues or interests in diabetes. The Everything Diabetes Book is a very thorough practical resource for the lay person.
