A Touch of Diabetes: A Straightforward Guide for People Who Have Type II Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Book

"Why me??? Of all the people in the world, how could this happen to me?" asks Morton Stone, one of the authors, writing in his journal after learning of his diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Excerpts from Stone's diary give this third edition of A Touch of Diabetes a personal touch. The book has also been revised and updated with the latest information about how to manage Type 2 diabetes. The title A Touch of Diabetes refers to getting a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes early in the disease--early enough to get significant health benefits and prevent complications by making small lifestyle changes. These changes, as you might expect, include "watch what and how much you eat, get more exercise, and lose any extra weight you've been carrying around the last few years." That's easier said than done, however, and many people ignore this advice until they develop serious complications. The authors emphasize that the impact of the disease can be minimized by taking action early, and they offer both long-term strategies and quick tips for incorporating changes into your life. They also discuss emotional stress, medications, health monitoring, sexuality, and complications in practical, simple terms. "I do think that knowledge is my best weapon against diabetes and, most importantly, against doing things that I know are not good for me," writes Stone in his journal. This book can help you acquire this kind of knowledge. --Joan PriceRead More
