. .if you or someone you know is struggling to find camaraderie during a particularly troubling time with their diabetes, this might be a perfect gift. <br>-- diabetesmine.com
A Life of Control will greatly interest not only those with Type I or Type II Diabetes, but their family members, physicians, and clinicians. <br>-- Publishers Weekly
This is a unique and well written volume describing personal experiences with diabetes of those who have it, their families and their providers of medical care. It yields valuable insights that will help with the issues for everyone who has to deal with this challenging disease. <br>--Mayer Davidson, MD, Director of the Clinical Center of Research Excellence at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles, past president of the American Diabetes Association, and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Diabetes
One of the largest challenges people living with diabetes face is taking care of themselves on a day-to-day basis, which means assuming responsibility that, in many other cases, is left up to the doctor. A Life of Control depicts 40 years of diabetic patients stories through the narration of the doctor and nurse practitioners who collected them, acknowledging the often complicated relationship between people living with diabetes and their doctors. A cleverly organized group of stories, which reveals the difficulties, both physical and emotional, that come along with diabetes, but leaves the reader feeling confident about taking control. --Steven Edelman, MD, Founder and Director, Taking Control of Your Diabetes, Del Mar, California
