Amazon.com Review: "The Greeks and Romans knew about diabetes. Fortunately, the way they tested for the condition--by tasting the urine--has gone by the wayside." Diabetes for Dummies has the friendly, quirky style you expect from all the For Dummies books, but this is no skim-the-surface Diabetes 101. Rubin has packed this book with useful information, peppered with warm advice for enjoying your life while living with diabetes. One of his points is that although you'd rather not have this disease, you're lucky to have it now instead of a few decades ago, because today you can manage diabetes and live a productive, quality-filled life. The book is divided into sections on "Dealing with the Onset of Diabetes," "How Diabetes Affects Your Body," "Managing Diabetes: The 'Thriving with Diabetes' Lifestyle Plan," and "Special Considerations for Living with Diabetes." Each chapter is packed with facts and strategies on topics such as monitoring, battling complications, medications, diet, and exercise. If you skim, it's an introduction to diabetes; if you read it carefully, it's a textbook. Web surfers will appreciate the "Dr. W.W. Web" appendix, where Rubin lists many useful diabetes Web sites. (If you'd rather click than type, you can visit Rubin's Web site, where he offers links to all the diabetes sites.) Also included is a mini-cookbook of multiethnic recipes from noted restaurants, mostly in San Francisco (with the restaurant address, in case you want to order instead of cook). --Joan Price Average Rating:
 Rating:  - multiple diabetes for dummiesThis was purchased directly from Amazon as new product. No issues at all with delivery or product. This book is excellent for a first book to learn about diabetes. Rating:  - Diabetes for DummiesI'm a big fan of the Dummies books. for someone who did not have patience for the diabetes classes, I found this had the answers I needed to monitor my health. Rating: - Okay for a startI bought this for my husband, hoping it would give him a basic understanding of his diabetes. It seemed geared more towards Type I which didn't apply to him. Some info, but I found another book that was more applicable. Rating:  - Diabetes for DummiesThe book is a good way to keep up with changes in treatment of type one and type two diabetes. Those of us who have diabetes need to have a reference book that is updated with the latest treatment tools and diagnostic explanations. This book does that in a language easy to understand. Rating: - An UpdateThis book is worth getting whether you are newly diagnosed or at a point where you really do want to manage your condition. It updates information from the original and offers newer resources. It is worth having as an initial learning tool and as an ongoing resource. Browse for similar items by category:
