Written by a team of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine practitioners, this valuable guide presents critical information about the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of diabetes. The nature of the disease, diet and exercise, treatments, complications, sexuality, pregnancy, and research are covered, often using the stories and concerns of actual patients. The language used, while sometimes complex in concept, is clear, enlightening, and reassuring to the reader. Positive examples stress the importance of individual knowledge and flexibility in daily life. An excellent beginner's guide, more comprehensive for the motivated reader than the American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes (LJ 8/15/96), this book complements The Joslin Guide to Diabetes (LJ 7/95), providing additional information on the subjects of complications, treatments, research, and genetics. A required purchase for all health collections. [See also Laurinda Poirier and Katharine M. Coburn's Women & Diabetes, reviewed above.?Ed.]?Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans Hosp., Tampa, Fla. -?Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans Hosp., Tampa, Fla. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. A diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, though not the death sentence it was 80 years ago, can still shock a patient's sense of mental as well as physical well-being. To deal with the many aspects of such a shock, a clinically oriented academic physician, a private practice physician with mental health counseling experience, and a diabetes nurse-educator pool their viewpoints to produce a broad depiction of a difficult disease. Readers learn immediately and forcefully that a person either has or does not have diabetes--there is no middle ground. The authors then describe the tests leading up to a diagnosis, differentiate the disease's various forms, and examine current treatments. Control of diabetes depends not only on many types of insulin and its introduction into the body but also on diet, exercise, self-monitoring, and the patient's psychological state. A well-rounded, accessible resource. William Beatty --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
