Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Help Comment: The average doctor does not offer the full help that a diabetic really needs. So you sit out on this log ready to fall if you do not seek further. Not only do doctor's not help they often don't even bother to give you a direction. I do not think any one book is an answer either, but cetainly the American Diabetic Association has an obligation to fill that large hole left by the medical profession. Go for it. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: I bought this book for my 71 year old mother who was newly diagnosed with Diabetes, and she loved it. She found it extremely informative and easy to follow.
