effect it has on your blood sugars, as well as a healthy
dose of discipline, you can find a balance between having
a chronic condition and having a happy, healthy life.
This book looks at what the diabetic condition is,
the difference between Type 1 and Type 2, how you
become diabetic, the types of medication available
and how you can manage it. Information and advice
is also included for parents with diabetic children.
Whether you have just been diagnosed with diabetes,
or work, teach or live with someone who has the
condition, this book will arm you with all the essential
facts you need to know about the condition.
