Mientras que más de catorce millones de norteamericaños sufren de diabetes, la proporción se incrementa de manera considerable entre la población hispana, ya que los hispaños tienen dos veces mayor propensión de desarrollar esta enfermedad que otros grupos. Las estadísticas señalan que al llegar a los cuarenta y cinco años de edad, uno de cada diez hispaños estará enfermo de diabetes. Después de los cuarenta y cinco años, uno de cada cuatro hispaños habrá sido diagnosticado con este padecimiento.
La diabetes es un padecimiento complicado que amenaza la vida misma, pero hoy en día los diabeticos pueden reducir sus riesgos y llegar a tener una vida más duradera, feliz, y productiva si cuentan con un plan para el manejo y control de su tratamiento. El Manual Joslin para la Diabetes, elaborado por el famoso Centro Joslin para la Diabetes, es el libro más adecuado para la atención personal, indispensable para todos aquellos que padecen esta enfermedad.
El Centro Joslin para la Diabetes es considerado cómo el instituto de investigación y clínica más importante del mundo en el estudio y el tratamiento de este mal, lo que hace al Manual Joslin para la Diabetes el libro más actual en la materia. Escrito bajo la dirección del doctor Richard Beaser, en colaboración con Joan Hill y un equipo de expertos, en este libro se presentan todos los aspectos esenciales para que los propios pacientes sean quienes controlen su enfermedad. Se trata de un libro práctico, actualizado, y accesible, escrito en un lenguaje claro y sencillo. Se apoya en gráficas y cuadros sobre que, cómo y cuándo comer; cómo verificar el contenido de los azúcares en la sangre; cómo administrar insulina y medicamentos por vía oral; cómo controlar las alzas y bajas de azúcar; y cómo y cuándo hacer ejercicio.

From the Author:
BABY E.R. owes its origins to the worst week my family has ever experienced – the seven terrible days in 1992 our newborn daughter, Gabrielle, spent in neonatal intensive care.

Without fully realizing it, we had entered medicine's most cutting edge, the most amazing part of the hospital you'll never hope to visit – the NICU. We stood vigil there, obsessively reading Gaby's chart, asking the nurses and neonatologists endless questions, and watching everything, no matter how hard, even the spinal tap they gave our daughter to test for encephalitis, until she finally came home.

At the time, it never occurred to me to write about this experience: It was too personal, too traumatic. But years later, while giving a talk about a book I had written on the children of juvenile court, I was asked what could be done to make that ailing system work better. My answer was that it moved too slowly, taking months to intervene in the lives of young people in crisis, when hours were called for. It needed to work more like an emergency room, acting quickly to save our troubled children. As I uttered these words, I realized I knew a place that DID work that way to save children, a fascinating, dramatic place that is in every way the antithesis of the bedraggled system of justice I had been immersed in: the neonatal unit that had saved our daughter.

Six years after Gaby's stay there, I returned to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach, California, this time as an observer, where the staff, patients and families shared with me their insights, experiences and lives. The doctors, nurses and others who work there opened the doors for me without conditions, offering an unvarnished look at what they can and can't do. The parents I spent time with shared their incredible moments – good and bad – with measures of candor and courage I will never forget. BABY E.R. is their story.
