Amazon.com Review:
'The Greeks and Romans knew about diabetes. Fortunately, theway they tested for the condition--by tasting the urine--has gone bythe wayside.' Diabetes for Dummies has the friendly, quirkystyle you expect from all the For Dummies books, but this is noskim-the-surface Diabetes 101. Rubin has packed this book with usefulinformation, peppered with warm advice for enjoying your life whileliving with diabetes. One of his points is that although you'd rathernot have this disease, you're lucky to have it now instead of a fewdecades ago, because today you can manage diabetes and live aproductive, quality-filled life.
The book is divided into sectionson 'Dealing with the Onset of Diabetes,' 'How Diabetes Affects YourBody,' 'Managing Diabetes: The 'Thriving with Diabetes' LifestylePlan,' and 'Special Considerations for Living with Diabetes.' Eachchapter is packed with facts and strategies on topics such asmonitoring, battling complications, medications, diet, andexercise. If you skim, it's an introduction to diabetes; if you readit carefully, it's a textbook. Web surfers will appreciate the'Dr. W.W. Web' appendix, where Rubin lists many useful diabetes Websites. (If you'd rather click than type, you can visit Rubin's Website, where he offers links to all the diabetes sites.) Also includedis a mini-cookbook of multiethnic recipes from noted restaurants,mostly in San Francisco (with the restaurant address, in case you wantto order instead of cook). --Joan Price

Rating:  - Diabetes for Dummies
I'm a big fan of the Dummies books.for someone who did not have patience for the diabetes classes, I found this had the answers I needed to monitor my health.
Rating: - Okay for a start
I bought this for my husband, hoping it would give him a basic understanding of his diabetes.It seemed geared more towards Type I which didn't apply to him.Some info, but I found another book that was more applicable.
Rating:  - Diabetes for Dummies
The book is a good way to keep up with changes in treatment of type one and type two diabetes.Those of us who have diabetes need to have a reference book that is updated with the latest treatment tools and diagnostic explanations.This book does that in a language easy to understand.
Rating: - An Update
This book is worth getting whether you are newly diagnosed or at a point where you really do want to manage your condition.It updates information from the original and offers newer resources.It is worth having as an initial learning tool and as an ongoing resource.
