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! :)

By Bruce B. Denyes (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent reference book on diabetes. All aspects are covered in detail. The nice part about this book is that it's the Canadian version and contains all the test result numbers in Candian measurement units. Highly recommended.
