Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a diabetes educator and this is the book I recommend to all the parents of a child that has diabetes. When a child is first diagnosed with diabetes the parents are overwhelmed with information and do not remember everything the nurse or doctor tells them and I find that this book gives all the information in a nut shell. It will also help answer the everyday questions of What "if". It is a excellent resource and gives very good examples of what the bloodsugar should be for each age, how much food to give for exercise, the action of insulin how to treat low blood sugar and what to do on days that your child is sick. etc. It gives pretty much all the information you need.

This book is the New 10th edition (2002). Please note that the book is the same but the title has changed from Understanding Insulin Dependent Diabetes to Understanding Diabetes. The material found in the 28 chapters has been updated and covers all aspects of diabetes concerns. Included are two new chapters, one featuring type 2 diabetes and the other featuring pregnancy and diabetes. It is written at a level easily understandable to the young adolescent and his/her family.
