Outdated and disease-based diabetes management. Written to appeal to the average diabetes info consumer but avoids all the tough conversations around the condition.

[Patricia Chavez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great information!

[Snickerdoodle · Rating 3 out of 5]

So far, much of this isn’t new information for me but if you haven’t read another book on Diabetes, this one does provide good coverage of the basics.

Good overall info.

[Debby · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very complete guide to understanding diabetes. Provides a great deal of useful information but is not overly hard to read.
