5.0 out of 5 stars Outshines ANY book on diabetes I have ever read! Superb!, 24 April 2004
By B. J. Beresford (Coventry, West Mids United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (Class Health) (Paperback)
The title is slightly misleading. Do not assume if you are an ADULT withdiabetes, this book isn't for you. It is!!! Yes, if you are a parent whohas a child with diabetes, this book is the one for you, but if, likemyself, you've got Type 1 diabetes, and are an adult, buy this book!
I developed Type 1 diabetes at the age of 17, in 1987. I managed to gethold of one of the first copies of this book, before it went on sale,through a medical rep, after hearing about it from Diabetes UK. That wasin 1998.
I cannot believe that someone can write such an indepth, factual, easy tounderstand, and superb book without having diabetes themselves, but thisprofessional, Ragnar, has.
I know nothing of the author, but all I can say is a HUGE Thank you tohim! For anyone out there with diabetes, whether it be newly diagnosed ornot, whether its you yourself that has the condition or a child of yours,go out and buy this! You will never need another diabetes book again; thiscontains every answer to every question you'll ever ask about thecondition!
You don't need to read it cover to cover; I have always used it as areference book whenever I've come across something with my diabetes that Idon't quite understand or want to know more about.
Absolute must for ALL diabetics! Superb!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Type 1 Diabetes in children, adolescents and young adults, 11 April 2005
By David P J Parker (Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (Class Health) (Paperback)
This is an invaluable book for anyone who has Type 1 Diabetes or has a family member suffering from the condition. So why did I hesitate before buying it? Because, before I read it, I thought it would be just another book on diabetes, written in the same old formula by another health professional for whom diabetes is the day job while families with a diabetic child live with it day in, day out.

If that sounds cynical maybe it's the result of sitting in on too many sessions with the 'diabetes health care team.' However if they're getting to you too read Dr Ragnar Hanas' book. I've learnt considerably more from it than all the clinics and advice sessions that we've been obliged to attend put together. It should be recommended reading for anyone whose job it is to work with people suffering from diabetes or their families.

The writer's whole approach to the subject seems not only genuinely empathetic but illuminating. This book is packed full of information in a clearly laid out informative text. He is able to deliver medical information in a concise, accessible way. And that's the thing. He explains things. He doesn't assume patients won't get it so he'll just throw in some patronising prose. He covers everything thoroughly to help the reader make sense of the subject.

When our young son was diagnosed we were on holiday in Wales and met a wonderful nurse who helped us more than anyone else has since. In Dr Ragnar Hanas' book, underpinning the scholarship, there seems to be that same quality of giving hope and encouragement by treating families as people and not merely patients or data in some health service system.

The author advises that you don't need to read the almost 400 pages cover to cover - I did. As a parent with a sick child I would never recommend this book to another parent if it wasn't worth having. It definitely is worth having.

David Parker

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book a really helpful resource!, 12 Jul 2006
This review is from: Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (Class Health) (Paperback)
I can not recommend this book highly enough. I have used it many times, especially when, as is often the case, I can't get hold of anyone in the 'Medical Profession' and need to make a quick decision about my daughters health. My husband and I are on the committee of a support group for parents of children with diabetes and we always recommend this book to the parents of newly diagnosed children. A very helpful and easy to use book.
