Descriere
The Diabetes Manifesto contains crucial information for people living with diabetes and practical examples that demonstrate how this information can be most effectively used. A roadmap for patients, it provides encouragement, education, and inspiration with concrete examples, illustrative quotes, exercises, and references. More than a guide to coping, it is also a call to self-help, self-reliance, and political action. The book covers such diverse topics as how to create a personal mission statement, how to learn more about medications, how to determine what one wants in a doctor, and the importance of celebrating successes. It also addresses the misguided blame surrounding diabetes, diabetic complications (and how to handle them), and ways to join the fight. Though diabetes is incurable, The Diabetes Manifesto aims to help people feel in control of their lives, regardless of the circumstances. It empowers readers by teaching them how to live productively and direct the role diabetes plays in their lives. This is an excellent overview of diabetes knowledge, coupled with empowering tools for those living with it.
