When individuals are diagnosed with diabetes, their lives and the lives of those closest to them change dramatically. Every aspect of life is affected—eating, socializing, sexual relationships, even their financial status. In order to maintain a healthy emotional and loving bond, it is important that everyone--friends, relatives and spouses alike--take an honest look at diabetes: what it is, the upheaval that it may create and the closeness that it can inspire. This book discusses, with humor and openness, the most intimate issues that individuals need to know about diabetes. The Guide to Living and Loving with Diabetes answers this need. It offers medical information, clear guidance, easily understood research data, skill building exercises, soul-searching questionnaires, and personal anecdotes. The light-hearted format provides an abundance of valuable tips and advice. It is a friendly, non-technical publication that will leave each reader feeling comforted and informed. Each chapter contains the combined wisdom of three diabetes experts who have over 50 years of diabetes experience between them. Each offers different ways to not only survive with diabetes, but to thrive.

An estimated 16 million Americans (more than 7 percent of the population) suffer from Type 2 diabetes―a shocking increase of 49 percent since 1990. Of all the major diseases, diabetes is the ultimate self-help condition, for diet and exercise are the keys to combating it. However, Type 2 is also an inordinately lonely and confusing disease. It's hard not to feel isolated when so many social events center around food and drink that may be off-limits to diabetics. And because there's no one-size-fits-all diet, because symptoms are often hidden, and because the impact of uncontrolled diabetes is usually years away, diabetics can feel adrift as they search for answers. Even maintaining an exercise routine may be impeded by depression, which often accompanies the disease. Diabetes is even more challenging on an emotional level because diabetics have few support groups to turn to. Standing out among hundreds of books on diabetes, Type 2 will help fill that gap. Medical writer Miryam Ehrlich Williamson has interviewed Type 2 diabetics across North America who share their stories of struggle and success, from healthy eating at parties to handling feelings of anger and hopelessness to reducing anxiety and pain during blood glucose testing. Type 2 diabetics will see themselves in this inspiring print version of a support group, and the experiences and advice of fellow diabetics will motivate and guide them to control their disease and stay actively involved in life.

There are dozens of books about managing diabetes, but none focuses specifically on using insulin. Now, in Think Like a Pancreas, certified diabetes educator and type 1 insulin user Gary Scheiner gives readers everything they need to know to "think like a pancreas," i.e., to successfully master the art of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. A comprehensive, supremely practical guide free of medical mumbo jumbo, Think Like a Pancreas discusses day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring; measuring and matching insulin to carbohydrate intake; the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods; hypoglycemia; exercise; the impact of emotions, stress, and illness; and the dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to master. A book that is long overdue, this first-ever, indispensable, all-in-one resource will enlighten and inspire the four million people whose lives and well-being depend on daily insulin intake.
