The First Year Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly DiagnosedFrom Library Journal This is the first entry in the publisher's "First Year" series, which seeks to set itself apart from other health advice lines with its authors all "patient-experts." Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1996, Becker quickly learned that there are many ways to approach diabetes care. She uses appropriate humor and presents basic information to take the reader through each day of the first week, each subsequent week of the first month, and the next 11 months after diagnosis. Emphasizing the self-management skills that all diabetics must master for adequate control of the disease, Becker addresses the questions not always anticipated or answered by healthcare providers. For instance, she covers necessary and optional tests, diet, drugs, weight and stress management, and the emotional strain of the disorder. Her sections on insurance and paying medical bills are excellent. Internet diabetes expert Rick Mendoza has also contributed a chapter on online resources. Other useful features include a glossary, reading list, and further resources. This excellent volume should inspire patients to manage prudently their disease.

Dr. MacCracken, a pediatric endocrinologist, has succeeded in writing an excellent book about diabetes in youth......What makes this book truly outstanding, however, is the fact that it is full of wisdom--wisdom which is rarely written down--wisdom that comes from working with, and learning from, children and adolescents with diabetes and their families over a period of many years. I highly recommend this book to all members of the diabetes healthcare team, to families of youth with diabetes, to diabetes camp staff and to interested coaches, teachers, and friends."

In fact, Hiser combines three books in one: an account of medical research, a handbook of remedies, and more than 70 recipes. The now well-known Mediterranean diet emerges as the clear winner, with explanations about monounsaturated fats, fiber, omega-35, carbohydrates, and vitamin supplements.
