This book is for those unwilling to do an internet search and just become educated concerning this illness. I didn't particularly like the way the information was presented, and expected better from the American Diabetes Association.

very informal book . Had some great tips to discuss with your family doctor and how to plan a diet to talk with a dietician .

very informative, worked better than Sominex.

[Steve · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was not especially impressed with the usefulness of this book. The first letter of some of the topics (and the topics themselves!) seem arbitrarily chosen. There's no index to find a topic if your idea of what it should be named disagrees with theirs. In addition, in today's world of Internet search engines the content of this book can easily be found elsewhere.

There is useful advice hidden in here, but it's hard to find and can be found elsewhere more easily.

This is a handy book to have for a diabetic's family. Easy to read and understand. It puts everything you would need to know about diabetes in one simple book.

Diabetes A-Z has been helpful to my family in understanding what I go through as well as how they can help me.

A very easy to read and understand book. It lost a star for writing on page six that we use cholesterol for our "cell walls". That's just too dumb, sorry.

I picked this from the library to help me understand more. I had found other book were more easy to understand.

[Maya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not necessarily a plan but just the facts in alphabetical order. Clear, concise English. I just prefer books of this nature to be more in depth.
