Excellent book.......2007-06-02

I found this book to be chock full of interesting and invaluable information. It explains so much about the ways this disease affects you and how important your eating habits are. It also explains in detail how the different types of medications work. I would recommend this book to any woman who has Type 2 diabetes.

A Big Help.......2006-08-02

I've been a nurse for 20 years and thought I knew enough about diabetes. Then I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and found myself asking alot of the same questions that I've heard other patients ask. This book was a big help to me and will be a big help for my family in understanding how to live with and control this condition.

Drs. Fong and Ross have compiled an excellent resource for patients and non-ophthalmologic clinicians. The comprehensive nature of the book and the clarity of presentation make it a must for all those who deal with diabetes! It has been shown in past research that much of the problems associated with diabetes could be avoided with appropriate identification and careful management of the disease.

An excellent overall guide to understanding Diabetes........2000-10-16

This book is perfect for the recently diagnosed or anyone with a family member or friend who has diabetes. It covers all the topics and issues in a way that is intelligent, sensitive and yet does not flinch from the issues. From learning how to use your meter to dealing with family members, this is a diabetes information course and a sourcebook to refer back to over and over.

I used Diana Guthrie's book to educate myself when my doctor turned me loose with no diet, no information and no idea of how to use my meter. This book is NOT a self diagnosing cure-all, BUT IT WAS the band aid between meeting in a diabetes educational session with a medical professional (which took three weeks, and that's a long time to wait for help) and being scared and knowing nothing. Thank you, Ms. Guthrie. In addition, I have been recommending this book to fellow diabetics.

An extraordinary book on the subject, and absolutely invaluable.

Author's comments.......2000-10-12

Maturity onset or Type 2 diabetes is a manageable disease. The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook, which has been completely and recently updated, guides you step-by-step through its management, explaining the steps you can take to keep yourself healthy and well on a day-to-day basis. You can successfully manage maturity onset or Type 2 diabetes using the information presented in this book. Type 2 diabetes is a complicated disease to manage, but scientific understanding of how to treat diabetes has come a long way in the past few years. The tools you use to help yourself are very simple to understand and apply, and educating yourself will combat the fear and dread associated with the presence of any chronic disease

Good self-management involves several tools-blood testing, diet, exercise, stress reduction, and medications. All these elements are simple in themselves, but they must be coordinated to be most effective. The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook gives you solid information to help you coordinate these elements in a good, healthy program of self-management, in conjunction with your medical doctor and your treatment team.

Keith S. Richman, M.D., M.P.H., past president of the American Diabetes Association's San Fernando Valley chapter, has called this book "one of the most useful books I've ever read on the self-management of Type 2 or adult-onset diabetes." Dr. Richman described The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook as "packed with an amazing amount of solid medical information." He concluded, "This wonderfully supportive book guides you step-by-step through the successful self-management of diabetes in partnership with your physician. The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook belongs on the bookshelf of every person with diabetes."

The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook includes the types of testing you and your medical team should do, what the results of these tests mean, and how to take care of yourself in a day-to-day program of good nutrition, sensible exercise, and personal hygiene are included here.

Fear is the enemy of self-management. The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook meets that fear with solid medical information supplied by leading organizations such as the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. The "Patient's Bill of Rights," listing the type of medical examinations you should receive and tests which should be given to you is included, as is information on managing possible complications, gestational diabetes, and more.

These days, medical doctors who are pressed to treat more patients in less time often don't have the time to answer many simple basic questions about the biology and management of Type II diabetes. This book combats ignorance and fear with the latest solid scientific and medical information. The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook will help empower people with maturity onset diabetes, so that they may ultimately help themselves.

The Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook was written by David Drum, the author of several medical books, and Terry Zierenberg, RN, CDE, a well-known registered nurse and certified diabetes educator. For many years, Terry Zierenberg served as program coordinator for the Encino-Tarzana Hospital's Diabetes Care Center, the largest and most comprehensive diabetes care program in Los Angeles.

Book Description

Since the publication of the first edition of Diabetes Sourcebook in 1994, many changes have occurred in the field of diabetes care. Experts now suggest that all adults age 45 and older be tested for diabetes, and that people under 45 be tested if they are at high risk. An estimated 16 million Americans have diabetes, including 8 million who remain undiagnosed.

Diabetes Sourcebook, 2nd edition, provides updated information to help people understand the risk factors for diabetes, recognize the symptoms, and obtain appropriate care. The book also contains consumer health information for the different types of diabetes, with new recommendations for diabetes management and self-care, information about insulin and other innovative diabetes medicines, and reports on recent research initiatives.
