Product Description
Living with type 1 diabetes requires intensive, nonstop daily management, week after week, year after year. This means that young people with type 1 and their parents have to become experts on their own condition—even better informed than the average doctor—and able to self-manage its daily demands. The Type 1 Diabetes Book is the most authoritative book ever published on the condition and will become the one book that every young person with type 1 diabetes will need to own. "In this book," writes author Dr. Ragnar Hanas, "I speak directly, all the time, to you, the person with diabetes. The topics covered range from how your body works to sweets, treats, and ice cream; from insulin injection technique to long-term complications; and any number of subjects in between. With this book at your side, you can easily and quickly get to know about diabetes and how to handle it with confidence in all the different situations that life has to offer." With 40 chapters, 430 graphs and illustrations, 168 medical terms explained, and 813 references to articles and journals, no other book available on this subject comes remotely close to the quality or amount of comprehensive information offered here.

This book is a fantastic resource. I am sure I will be referring to it numerous times in the future. Good for newly diagnosed to read in full, but also a great book to turn to in times when you need clarification regarding certain issues.

This book has helped us so much. The doctors don't help you too much so you are left with a million questions and this book has helped so much. This disease is so overwelming and this book is so helpful in easy to understand words. Instead of going into a panic when something happens we now just go to the book and it calms us right down. Thank God this book is here.
