Women and Diabetes:Staying Healthy in Body, Mind and Spirit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is not just about the nuts and bolts of diabetic management (blood sugar testing, diet, exercise). It deals with the emotional impact that diabetes has on the life of a woman. Because there are stories from women who have already "walked in my shoes", I felt less alone in dealing with this disease. There are "fill-in-the-blank" pages to help you identify people who can help you; to let you see where you are on the road to acceptance of being a diabetic. Diabetes affects all aspects of life and tight management is crucial to preventing or minimizing complications later. I highly recommend this book to any diabetic woman, whether she is newly diagnosed, or has been dealing with it for years. I would also recommend sharing this book with family and friends.
I thought this book was great for every woman with diabetes.

This is the first book I have read that totally and thoroughly goes over the different aspects of diabetes that only women face. The needs of men and women are totally different with regards to health issues--especially diabetes. I highly recommend this to every woman with diabetes--whether newly diagnosed or someone who has had the disease for years. It is informative and very informational, too.
