While diabetes and its complications kill 160,000 Americans annually, this book's goal is to significantly reduce your risk of becoming one of this disease's grim statistics. Based on the latest important new research, The Joslin Guide reveals the results of a ten-year nationwide study (DCCT) showing how people with one major type of diabetes (Type I) were able to reduce by 50 percent their risk of developing serious long-term complications.

As practical as it is current, The Joslin Guide in easy-to-understand language and charts explains what and when to eat, how to monitor blood sugars, how to administer insulin and oral medications, how to treat high and low blood sugar, and how and when to exercise.
