Probably the only diabetes book you'll ever need November 14, 2008
If you (or someone you know) have just been diagnosed with diabetes, then I can't recommend this book too highly. I bought it when I was first diagnosed and still refer to it regularly.
The chatty, good humoured, "Dummies" approach works well in breaking down this complex (and scary) subject into bite-sized chunks. It covers all the basics and there are specific chapters on things like diabetes in childhood and in old-age. The recipes are a complete waste of time, but only take up a few pages. There are all helpful appendices that come with the "Dummies" brand and an excellent index.
When buying this (or any other diabetes book), make sure that you get the UK edition: many books are written for the American market and they do things differently there.

Excellent book - explains everthing about diabetes in terms that even a dummy like me can understand. Have just ordered 2 more copies as presents for friends, (if I lend them this copy I'll definitely never see it again) and a copy of the cookbook in the series for myself.
A MUST-READ for the newly diagnosed August 19, 2001

Alan Rubin's excellent guide to diabetes is straight-forward, hard-hitting, factual, practical, and easy to get to grips with. It remains one of the two books I refer to regularly, the other being Richard Bernstein's 'Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution', which is even more useful (but a touch extreme). Together they give a full picture of this fascinating, complex and nasty disease plus a patient-centred approach to controlling blood glucose levels which actually works for those prepared to follow the Bernstein regime. The recipes in both books are a weak point but this is a minor quibble.
