Living with Diabetes: The British Diabetic Association Guide for Those Treated with Diet and Tablets John L. Day
In the UK, there are between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 adults and 20,000 children with non-insulin dependent diabetes, a condition that profoundly affects their lives. Patients need to be well educated about their condition and motivated to comply with treatments. This book seeks to provide those patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes, their friends, family and carers with easy-to-access information on the condition. It aims to give this information in an easy-to-understand/read format and should encourage patients to follow recommended treatment with optimism. It should ensure they gain the ability to manage and control their diabetes and therefore avoid the medical complications that can so easily occur with the condition.
