Lots of Great Info for the New Diabetic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Just diagnosed with diabetes. Never really sick a day in my life, am active and don't smoke, drink, or eat fast food. So what the heck am I doing with diabetes?! For me this has been a wake up call to start living a healthier life style. Anyway this has been a very useful first book on diabetes for me. Also recommend Diabetes for Dummies and Cinnamon capsules which have been effective in keeping my sugar down.

Informative fun book..Your First Year with Diabetes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Who would have thought that reading about Your First Year with Diabetes could be so Informative and yet fun. It answered questions we all want to know who have this Disease...and yet it is done with humor and honesty...easy reading and...goes through it thoughly... gives us guidance...and it is up to date on medicines,diet plans,and how exercise affects us and the forbidden sexual problems that most of us don't want to discuss...even with our Doctors. I have had Diabetes for 35 years and it is the best book to read because it lifted my spirits while I read it...and yet imparted so much new information that I needed to know Thank you Ms Garnero for writing such a wonderful book.
User friendly guide to diabetes

Your First Year with Diabetes is an engaging and user friendly guide to living with diabetes. The lists breakdown the key information and the cartoons sprinkled throughout the book provide just the right amount of levity. The tone in conversational, not institutional, and spells out key concepts, helping to highlight essential info. The checklists at the end of the chapters are a great summary to guide one through what can be an overwhelming experience!
Your First Year with Diabetes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The tone of Your First Year with Diabetes by T. Garnero is both compassionate and humorous. Two things that people living with diabetes need! There is a plethora of essential information. Things that your doctor didn't tell you or you can't remember learning! I love the way it is broken down into small, digestible (haha) bites of information. It is evident that this book is based on the experience of a person working in diabetes for over 20 years, working with thousands of different kinds of people. Any one can write a book but it takes talent to distill recommendations from the different diabetes groups, real-life experiences, and what people really need to know into one book. Thank you for making diabetes care seem manageable.
