Book
"From Booklist A diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, though not the death sentence it was 80 years ago, can still shock a patient's sense of mental as well as physical well-being. To deal with the many aspects of such a shock, a clinically oriented academic physician, a private practice physician with mental health counseling experience, and a diabetes nurse-educator pool their viewpoints to produce a broad depiction of a difficult disease. Readers learn immediately and forcefully that a person either has or does not have diabetes--there is no middle ground. The authors then describe the tests leading up to a diagnosis, differentiate the disease's various forms, and examine current treatments. Control of diabetes depends not only on many types of insulin and its introduction into the body but also on diet, exercise, self-monitoring, and the patient's psychological state. A well-rounded, accessible resource. William Beatty--This text refers to the Hardcover edition."--www.amazon.com
