"Drs. Ian Blumer and Alan Rubin cover diabetes care from head to toe – Canadian style. There are scores of diabetes reference books on the market, but none that cater to the unique needs of Canadian patients like Diabetes for Canadians For Dummies. From regional recipes to CDA standards of care, this comprehensive book covers treatment basics plus lifestyle, emotional, and employment issues. This should be required reading for all patients with newly-diagnosed diabetes.

This review is from: Diabetes for Canadians For Dummies (Paperback)
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

Diabetic Dummy No More!,
By
This review is from: Diabetes For Canadians For Dummies (Paperback)
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! :)

Explaining Diabetes clearly and simply.,
By
This review is from: Diabetes For Canadians For Dummies (Paperback)
I have just been diagnosed with Diabetes. As a person totally inexperienced to deal with this, I have found this book very helpful. It is organized in bite sized pieces of information so that the reader is not overwhelmed. It presents the information with helpful diagrams making it easy to see the implications or the necessities required in caring for oneself with this disease. Of all the books I have looked at, this one is my favourite. It willnow be my reference book as I care for myself.
