Practical Psychology for Diabetes Clinicians

This book consists of chapters written by a variety of authors. They address common emotional, family and behavioral problems that one might encounter when treating inviduals with diabetes. There sections relevant to the very young as well as the elderly. I liked the sections on dealing with hypoglycemia. They did a good job of addressing how fear of hypoglycemia can influence behavior. Most of the psychological principles are still quite relevant and valuable. Some of the specific suggestions for diet and insulin management are out of date, because of the introduction of ultra-rapid insulin and because of the increase in the use of the insulin pump.I would enjoy seeing an updated version. Dr. Cox could then incorporate driving data into his sections on hypoglycemia.
