With 1.5 million new cases diagnosed each year, diabetes is a certified American epidemic—seven percent of the U.S. population will be diagnosed with diabetes in their lives, with type 2 diabetes the fastest-growing form of the disease.
In Diabetes: The New Type 2, Virginia Valentine, a clinical nurse specialist and diabetes educator who has lived with diabetes for almost thirty years, combines forces with diabetes educators June Biermann and Barbara Toohey (one of whom has diabetes herself), pooling their extensive knowledge and experience to deliver medical and lifestyle advice with good humour, high energy, and straight talk.

In an upbeat, down-to-earth style, Valentine, Biermann, and Toohey lead readers through the basics of medication, diet, exercise, and emotional health, evaluating the latest diabetes studies and information, as well as:
• Breakthroughs in medication, diet, and exercise to maintain healthy glucose levels
• Lowering your risk for heart attack, stroke, and other diabetes-related health conditions
• Caring for children with type 2 diabetes
• Diabetes and Alzheimer's
• and much more
