– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well after my soak I have read a few chapters. It is written by a male and two females. The two females (one a diabetic) wrote a book for women diabetics previously. The book is recomended for women who have partners or sons that have the illness. So far I like it.. They suggest instead of having type 1 and 2 it should be U and C.. Uncontrolled and controlled. They say that is more important. Testing so far is the biggest thing in chapter one that is recomended to help with control… (learning what makes the BGs rise and fall) — Tower-O-Power I have the book called "The Diabetic Woman" by Javonovic, Biermann, and Toohey. Excellent book – down to earth Q & A and useful information. Sounds like it might be (a subset of) the same authors? Beth

@news01.syd.optusnet.com.au: – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Thanks TOP. Am I correct in thinking it is a book designed for males? For OZgirl The Diabetic Man was just purchased this afternoon but I will post a review when I get it finished. It looks good so far and it deals with the medical side and the emotional side. I will keep you posted.. — Tower-O-Power
