Getting on with Type 2 Diabetes

Fred keeps falling asleep and his GP does a blood test and diagnoses him with Type 2 Diabetes. He learns how to change his diet and take regular exercise. When Fred becomes tired again his GP prescribes medication. Fred later feels much better when he sees the GP for his annual review which includes giving him a urine sample, having his blood pressure taken and his feet checked. In the Books Beyond Words series the stories are told through pictures only. They are for adults with intellectual disabilities, but are useful for anyone with communication difficulties. Additional information, as text, plus guidance on how to use the books are also given.
