Whether young, old, type 1, type 2, gestational, newly-diagnosed, long-time sufferer, caretaker or loved one, millions of people are afflicted and affected by diabetes.

The Handy Diabetes Answer Book is the go-to guide for diabetics, prediabetics, their loved-ones and care-takers. It explains who is most at risk, and points to the differences throughout life stages. It looks at the science behind its affects on the sense, brain and the various systems of the human body. It demonstrates how to cope with—and live well—through food, exercise and life style choices.

This useful resource shows how and why the disease affects the body, and provides glimpses of historical and contemporary figures with diabetes. It answers questions in plain English on all aspects of the condition. It also introduces the scientists behind breakthrough advances in care.

Why does diabetes cause blindness? Why is it important for a person with diabetes to be aware of tooth pain? Why is there a controversy over how much salt should be eaten daily? How do “energy drinks” affect a person’s blood glucose levels? What are some tips for people with diabetes when they go shopping for food? What food additives should a person with diabetes be aware of consuming? What should a person with diabetes look for on a restaurant menu? Why is health care so costly for treating diabetes? Will type 1 diabetes ever go away? What recent study tried to find a way to reverse type 2 diabetes? What doll company is helping children cope with type 1 diabetes?
