A practical, accessible and informative guide to overcoming and managing a wide spread affliction!

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 CDC estimates 9.3% of the population in the U.S. and Canada have diabetes, with millions more with prediabetes. From scientific explanations of the affects of diabetes on the human body to monitoring, maintaining, exercising and eating right, The Handy Diabetes Answer Book provides detailed information on the research and science on the disease as well as coping with the burden.

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.
