Rezensionen / Stimmen
'I'm in control of my diabetes. I live a full and active life. If you aim to do likewise, you'll find this book a big help.' - Gary Mabbutt, ex-England International footballer. 'What sets this book apart from others is the fact that it answers questions that most books dealing with diabetes cannot. It also surprises the reader with questions one perhaps would not even have thought of. It is a book that once brought will be used over and over again.' - Balance. 'The book is well presented, with good, clear illustrations and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend it for people newly diagnosed with diabetes and their families and as a source of reference for nurses dealing with diabetes.' - Nursing Standard.
