The "Diabetes Handbook" offers a much-needed guide for diabetics, giving a brief history of the disease including the development of insulin, and outlines the problems faced by Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. The author is an insulin-dependent diabetic who has suffered with diabetes for 37 years, and provides hands-on details for managing the disease. The key elements for controlling diabetes are presented in an easy-to-read format. Many diabetics forget the seriousness of the disease - diabetes kills more people than breast cancer and AIDs combined - and tend to "wing it" with insulin intake and other control elements. The handbook provides a list of risks, along with solutions for the many problems faced by individuals with diabetes. After 37 years of trial-and-error and ten endocrinologists, the author finally developed the "Ten Commandments for Diabetics."
