Your First Year With Diabetes by Theresa Garnero

Product Details

Synopsis

A 12-month plan for surviving diabetes

The most frightening moment for most people with

diabetes is when they are first diagnosed. They are filled

with questions: What can I eat? What should I do? Is

there a plan for me to follow? While some people get a

plan from their doctor, most people do not.

Your First Year with Diabetes is the plan for everyone. It

walks you step-by-step through a first-30-days

survival plan, then shows a month-by-month program

for what comes next. Everything from a basic explanation

of diabetes, what you can eat right away,

and instructions on how to check glucose to a deeper

knowledge about diabetes nutrition, avoiding complications,

and better management. Your First Year with

Diabetes also anticipates and explains problems such as

depression, illnesses, and needing to lose weight.
