Abstract: A book for the newly diagnosed diabetic and his family presents information to help them understand the problems of diabetes, its treatment, and complications. Persons with long-established diabetes also can find discussion of new concepts regarding types of diabetes, diabetic diet planning, home blood testing, the role of exercise in diabetic care and recent research developments in the cause and treatment of the disease. There is extensive coverage of the 2 major types of diabetes written in clear nontechnical language and accompanied by easily understood diagrams. Other topics discussed are: daily care, long-term considerations, emergencies, complications of the disease, family relationships, and characteristics of the disease at various stages of the life cycle (as well as those related to diet planning and insulin therapy). Names and addresses of the American Dietetic Association Affiliates, a glossary of medical terms, and a list of other printed resources are included. (emc)
