An overview of the various types of diabetes that explains why diabetes begins, the reasons that high blood glucose levels are dangerous and what can be done to manage them. It also dispels the many myths about diabetes and works to eradicate the unfair stigma about those who have the disease. It myths with facts and replaces shame with pride in fighting a very difficult disease. The book discusses the personal and social issues diabetics face, employment ramifications , the possibilities for eventually curing type 1 and/or type 2 and other topics. The Diabetes Book is written in layman's language that makes a very complicated topic intelligible not only to diabetics but to a general audience. Our goal is to erase the stigma and this will only happen if the general public understands the disease and becomes an informed and supportive.
