Book Description
The definitive guide written in association with Diabetes UK
Product Description
Around 1.4 million people in the UK today have diabetes, and at least a million more may have diabetes and not know it. According to the World Health Organisation the number of diabetes sufferers worldwide is set to double in the next 25 years. It's serious and progressive and there is no known cure. However, life with diabetes can be very fulfilling. Just look at sports stars like Steve Redgave, winner of 5 Olympic gold medals. Written in association with Diabetes UK, this comprehensive guide answers all the key questions, from how to spot the symptoms, who is most at risk, what treatments are available and how diabetes will affect you diet and lifestyle. Dr Hillson tackles the common anxieties and provides invaluable information for all those with diabetes - whether newly diagnosed or longstanding - their families and friends.

To my thinking this book is the nearest one can get to a "Plain English" guide to diabetes and is suitable for both newly diagnosed and longer term cases. Clear, straightforward and to the point plus written in conjunction with Diabetes UK - the UK's leading diabetes charity. I have no hesitation in recommending this book - a good read with plenty of value for all patients.

This is, in my opinion, the best guide to Diabetes available. It answers many of the questions that occur after you have visited your diabetes clinic, the sort of questions you ask on the way home, 'I wish I'd asked her that', 'I forgot to ask about this', etc.. The practical advice is invaluable. The author doesn't talk down to you, unlike several other books.
I hope that Dr. Hillson will produce an updated version; for example, the section on types of insulin is now outdated, but most of it is as useful and as relevant as the day it was published.

When Diabetes is diagnosed in the family, there are so many questions arising, problems developing. This book has proved to have so many answers to those question and I certainly recommend it.
