From the Back Cover

Diabetes Care Made Simple "Doctor," he said, "I want to enjoy my life without thinking about diabetes every minute of the day. I want to work hard, have some fun, and travel. I want to have my old energy level back and to stay healthy. I want to be myself again. Is that too much to ask?" This simple but important plea is the starting point for Diabetes 101, a unique book that reads more like a novel than a typical medical book. Using real-life examples, it follows the story of Mike as he learns the basic information needed every day by people who take insulin to control their diabetes. And now, with this fully revised 3rd edition, you can learn:

• Dynamic Insulin Dosing—a step-by-step system that allows you to adjust your own insulin doses
• New insights in stopping or slowing the effects of diabetes
• Tips on using the new fast acting insulin, Humalog
• How different foods impact blood sugar levels
• New advice on getting the healthcare you deserve
• Helpful suggestions for minimizing sick days
• How to exercise safely and enjoy it more
• And much more

Stripped of complicated medical language, Diabetes 101 is the perfect book if you have been diagnosed with diabetes recently, want to take better control of your life and your diabetes, or know someone with diabetes and want to know more about the disease.
