Product Description
Review
"Dr. Juliano's book is a 'must read' for both female and male diabetics. [It] gives a great sense of empathy and encouragement far above the usual text book approach."--Irene E. Ralske, Senior R & DChemist, Health Care Products, High Tech Pharmacal
Product Description
This daily health care manual for the diabetic male packs a double punch. On the one hand, Dr. Juliano offers concrete advice on the large and small health care problems that confront every diabetic. His chapters on insulin, oral antidiabetic medications, home blood glucose monitoring, clinical blood tests, and new treatments describe medical procedures in easy-to-understand language. He discusses exercise physiology, acupuncture, diet, vitamins, and the implications of hypertension to point out the best lifestyle changes for someone with diabetes. He realistically explains the serious long-term complications to the diabetic's eyes, kidneys, and vascular nervous systems and stresses some of the new procedures like tight blood glucose control that hold high hope for diabetics. In chapters on dental hygiene and foot care - both important areas of concern for diabetics - and on male baldness and erectile dysfunction, he draws on medical opinion and his own experience to help the diabetic male improve his looks and maintain a healthy life. On the other side is Dr. Juliano's very positive take on his life of more than thirty years as an insulin-dependent diabetic, the last twelve of which he has been blind. His blindness wiped out his medical career and made it impossible for him to indulge his love of driving beautifully designed sports cars and surfing the big waves in Hawaii, but he lives fully, writing books to help other diabetics and continuing his research into this ancient disease.

Dr. Juliano's book was quite a pleasant surprise for me. This book covers an array of very important diabetic issues that are discused in a very intelligent format. Dr. Juliano is an Endocrinologist and a diabetic himself. This first hand experience from the age of 15 allows Dr. Juliano to share personal knowledge based on his own trial and error. The discussion of new and alternative treatment methods is what makes this book great. Dr. Juliano incorporates traditional western medicine with Nutrition and Acupuncture. By pointing out that Western medicine, Nutrition, and Acupuncture should be used together to improve a condition is a quantum leap for health care. Unfortunately most medical doctors have no understanding of nutrition and proper vitamin/mineral supplementation. This lack of knowledge limits the treatment options medical doctors offer us. It is quite refreshing to read a book by a medical doctor that addresses alternative medicine. This book is a wonderful compilation of the healing arts!

While the scope of the book is "for men", I found much of the content was for any diabetic, a man or a woman. The chapters for the men I found created in me an awareness and empathy to these unique results of the disease to the male body.
Interested in researching your disease? Juliano has done a great deal of the work in researching diabetes and application to daily life. This is packed with information based on his personal research.
I plan to keep it as part of my reference library, even if I am a "lady".

Format:Hardcover
In his introduction, Juliano (coauthor, The Diabetic's Innovative Cookbook) admits that he is a car freak and that his approach to his own body is not unlike his approach to his Ferrari: he likes to get under the hood. His guidebook is geared to those diabetics who, like him, have unlimited appetite for medical information and the confidence to sort through mountains of facts and therapies to find what works best for them. An insulin-dependent diabetic for more than 30 years (since age 15), Julino has been blind for 10 years. But he tells us that he remains in excellent physican health and urges diabetic men to be vigilant in monitoring their condition. He carefully explains the types of insulin and oral medications currently available, the latest treatment modalities, how to self-monitor one's blood glucose and how to understand clinical blood-chemistry panels. Juliano, a staunch believer in the power of positive thinking, urges diabetics to explore the mind-body approach to healing and remain optimistic about the medical advances that will one day eliminate their problems. Besides offering advice on the basics of exercise and nutrition, he addresses such topics as male pattern baldness and impotence, as well as other issues of concern to male diabetics. Juliano's insight and experience will be of great value to diabetics who wish, like him, to become experts in their condition.
