Essential book for diabetics or someone who cares about oneAs a type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed over 8 years ago, I found Diabetes Demystified a great resource. I also purchased the book for somebody that was recently diagnosed with diabetes because of the wealth of information it covers from understanding the causes of diabetes to proper treatment and blood glucose control.
The book is filled with easy to understand information mixed with “Did you know” insets that include more scientific explanations.
Whether you were just recently diagnosed with diabetes, have lived with it for years or live with somebody with diabetes, this book is a must read.
