Complete Diabetes Lifestyle

As a former practicing Registered Nurse and part of the diabetes teaching team as well as an individual with a strong family history of diabetes, a brother who is now going blind and is impotent due to diabetes,I have closely stayed up to date with trends in treatment and new information. 'The Complete Diabetes Lifestyle'is the new gold standard of teaching/sef-help books since the ADA opened its doors. It takes material that is extemely complex by medical standards and distills the essence into useful information. Ms Kay voices very consistant questions and concerns and provides realistic explanations and answers. The book is frank and even funny at times showing that this is a real person who, when confronted with a with a very real threat took the bull by the horns,attacked the problem by gaining knowledge and has offered this knowledge in a very reasonably priced book. I wish I had had this marvelous tool as a nursing student and when teaching newly diagnosed patients.

When Donna Kay was diagnosed with Typ 2 Diabetes at the age of 35, she could not find an upbeat book that would help her deal with her condition emotionally as well as medically. Reading the literature extensively, conversing with healthcare professional, and having no family history of diabetes, Donna Kay (with the help of Maribeth Stephen, an experienced healthcare writer) decided to write that missing book for the benefit of others who, like her, would find themselves unexpectedly having to deal with Type 2 Diabetes and all of the life-changing consequences of that diagnosis. The result is "The Complete Diabetes Lifestyle", a work of humor, practical advice, mind-body wisdom, and motivational strategies for dealing with diabetes. Written specifically for the non-specialist general reader, "The Complete Diabetes Lifestyle " will enable anyone to create an individualized diabetes management plan and feel self-empowered to deal with making those enduring changes that are fundamental to enjoying a better life. Strongly recommended for community library Health & Medicine reference collections, "The Complete Diabetes Lifestyle " is especially valuable reading for anyone having diabetes and needing to deal with its emotional as well as medical demands.
