Review

"When you control diabetes, it won't control you," and this book shows you how. With all the books about diabetes, why another one? The need, say the authors, is for "a brief and readable guide to important basic information needed every day by people who take insulin to control their diabetes." Diabetes 101 presents the information in an unusual way: by following the journey of a character named Mike to control his diabetes. You read the dialogues between Mike and his doctor, and Mike and his diabetes educator (who even goes to a supermarket with him to teach him how to make good nutritional choices and evaluate which foods restrict fat and sugar). They discuss insulin, monitoring, nutrition, traveling, entertaining, exercise, stress, and other topics that are of daily concern to people with diabetes. If you like your information presented like a story, you'll like this book; if you prefer a more straightforward presentation, it might not be for you. Helpful charts and lists, such as sugar-free medicines, foods for sick days, and insulin adjustments for time zone changes, round out the doctor's and diabetes educator's advice nicely. --Joan Price
