Product Description
From Library Journal
Poirier, a diabetes nurse educator at the Joslin Diabetes Center, and Coburn, coordinator at the Dartmouth Medical Center, recognize that women with a chronic illness like diabetes face special challenges. The authors focus on the internal impact of the disease, which adds to the responsibility of health maintenance to a woman's already overcrowded schedule of work and family commitments. Diabetes is compared to a full-time job, with which the woman has to work in partnership in order to perform successfully in preserving good health. Quality-of-life issues are emphasized, and short activities are included to assist the reader in determining her own areas of need and support. Special concerns for women with diabetes, such as monthly hormonal changes, pregnancy, and estrogen replacement therapy, are addressed. Highly recommended for any diabetes collection.

Women and Diabetes:Staying Healthy in Body, Mind and Spirit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women & Diabetes (Paperback)
This book is not just about the nuts and bolts of diabetic management (blood sugar testing, diet, exercise). It deals with the emotional impact that diabetes has on the life of a woman. Because there are stories from women who have already "walked in my shoes", I felt less alone in dealing with this disease. There are "fill-in-the-blank" pages to help you identify people who can help you; to let you see where you are on the road to acceptance of being a diabetic. Diabetes affects all aspects of life and tight management is crucial to preventing or minimizing complications later. I highly recommend this book to any diabetic woman, whether she is newly diagnosed, or has been dealing with it for years. I would also recommend sharing this book with family and friends.

I thought this book was great for every woman with diabetes.,
By C. Jensen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Women & Diabetes: Life Planning for Health and Wellness (Paperback)
This is the first book I have read that totally and thoroughly goes over the different aspects of diabetes that only women face. The needs of men and women are totally different with regards to health issues--especially diabetes. I highly recommend this to every woman with diabetes--whether newly diagnosed or someone who has had the disease for years. It is informative and very informational, too.
