4.0 out of 5 stars excellent ressource, Feb 8 2009
By Jillian varner (Roddickton, NL Canada) - See all my reviews
I loved this book. i was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and wanted to get some answers. The internet is a good ressource but there is alot of false information online so i thought i would give this a try and i wasnt disappointed. I believe this is a must read for all diabetics and family members who have loved ones with diabetes to understand the illness.I would recommend to anyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Diabetic Dummy No More!, Oct 19 2009
By Nicole Lucas (S.C, Newfoundland, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been living with diabetes Type 1 since the age of 18 and have struggled with taking my diagnoses seriously. I had a 2 year self-care hiatus and decided that pricking and poking myself several times a day was beginning to sound more appealing than being sick and having bad skin and break-outs (i know, beauty isn't everything). I decided to purchase the "Diabetes for Canadians for Dummies" and I couldn't be more enthused about having Diabetes and dealing with it's in's and out's. This book made understanding my diagnoses a snap and I have begun to check my sugar regularly again and take my medications as directed. Thank you "...For Dummies" for being here for us dummies! :)
