Managing Your Life With Diabetes
Successful management of diabetes requires people with the disorder to play a substantial role in the management of their own health. Written by a team of experts who have helped hundreds of people learn to deal successfully with their diabetes, 'Understanding Diabetes' is a veritable encyclopedia on the disorder, embodying all the most current information and research for people with diabetes, their families and friends. Covering every aspect of diabetes from what it is and how to control it to what to do to prevent long-term complications, the book includes chapters on diet and exercise, sexuality and fertility, hypertension and stress, and many, many more. It examines adolescent diabetes, as well as the problems faced by elderly people. The final chapter provides current addresses and contact numbers of diabetes associations and other useful groups, both in Australia and overseas.
By collaboration between a team of over fifteen doctors, nurses, dietitians and other health professionals, the Diabetes Centre at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, has produced this book. 'Understanding Diabetes' provides you with comprehensive and up-to-date information at your fingertips to help you successfully manage your life with diabetes.
