Educating Your Patient with Diabetes

From the reviews: "This new book provides a basic overview of most aspects of diabetes education ... . The book is written for anyone who educates patients with diabetes. It appears to be a good option for those who would like to become certified diabetes educators or those who work in primary care offices. It is a good primer for the most up-to-date, basic information. ... It could be a good initial read for those who are interested in learning more about diabetes education." (Amy Hess-Fischl, Doody's Review Service, February, 2009) "This valuable monograph ... is discussing not only general principles and practices of diabetes education in the first part, but also the problems describing the education of specific populations. ... In conclusion, this monograph seems to collect several important problems on the education of diabetic patients and possibly appears one of very few professional books dealing with these important problems of daily practice." (Endocrine Regulations, November, 2009) "The authors address the 19 chapters to patients with all types of diabetes mellitus from children to adults and geriatric population. Separate chapters review diabetes and sexual relations, diabetes in pregnancy, as well as preventive education. A clearly written and referenced text. For practitioners, diabetologists and members of the diabetes team." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 7 (4), June, 2010)
