 | Excellent, easy to absorb tips Feb 18, 2005 |
When a parent comes home from the hospital with a newly-diagnosed child with Type I diabetes, one reaches for the bookshelf in the hopes someone has written something that is going to help us, the parents, keep our sanity and move past the shock of this new life. 1001 Tips for Living Well with Diabetes is a good source for parents to hear some real advice about discrimination in schools, remembering the other kids in the family, and letting go enough to let your child attend summer camp. The information is broken down into those easy to read "tips" which is perfect when you just want to absorb a few ideas at a time. The diagnosis is hard to digest, but the book can help you take smaller bites.

| Judith McQuown book is incredibly helpful and insightful. Her ideas are organized in a very simplified manner for any one to understand and use. | | | | Stuffed and oozing information Nov 2, 2004 |
This book has practical advice for all diabetics. Judith McQuown does for diabetes tips what Heloise did for household hints--and the tips are just as amazing! The tips are so well-organized, helpful, and interesting that I couldn't put the book down. This one not only becomes part of my diabetes library, but earns a spot on my night-stand.
1001 tips. Think about that. That is a TON of tips. This book can be read from beginning to end very smoothly because of the organization. Or, you can simply flip it open, start anywhere, and skip around. I really do love it.
The author is not a health care professional and this book doesn't come across as health education. This book has warmth, doesn't lecture, and comes from a fellow diabetes patient who has faced the same challenges and experiences as the rest of us. The tips range from saving on prescriptions to budgeting to living alone. Us readers are fortunate, however, because she is apparently very talented at researching, interviewing, finding answers/solutions, and presenting information in a pleasing and well-organized way. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to read this book. I am the editor of Diabetic Mommy Online Magazine and highly recommend this book to my members. | | | | best book about diabetes i have read Oct 31, 2004 |
