The diagnosis of diabetes affects every aspect of life — eating, socializing, sexual relationships, even financial status. In order to maintain a healthy emotional and loving bond, it is important that everyone — friends, relatives and spouses alike — take an honest look at what it is, the upheaval that it may create and the closeness that it can inspire. Los Secretos para Vivir y Amar con Diabetes gives readers the information they need to know, discussing with humor and openness the most intimate issues associated with this condition. The book contains the combined wisdom of three diabetes experts, each offering different ways not only to survive with diabetes, but to thrive. Featuring the most current medical information, clear guidance, easily understood research data, skill-building exercises, soul-searching questionnaires, and personal anecdotes, this book is a complete resource.

This book was Ok. For me, being a Type 1 Diabetic myself , I found this book was meant to appeal to those who live with someone affected with Diabetes or is trying to better understand all of the details of how to cope with that situation in a constructuve and helpful manner without being too over-bearing rather then a direct guide for Diabetics themselves.
It is a good guide for those who support someone living with the condition and has some helpful suggestion and questionaires/quizes to assist in understanding. Suggestions of how to get the whole situation to work for those either coping with or supporting someone with Diabetes.
Persoanlly for myself- I did not find it extremely useful how I am planning on handing it around to those around me who it is best suited for!
