From Diabetic Express web site: "A Field Guide to Type 1 Diabetes is essentially a crash-course in type 1 diabetes fit into a 200-page, 4-by-9 inch paperback book. The size of the book makes it a bit tricky to read (crack the spine right away to help keep the pages open), but it's filled with good information on every aspect of type 1 diabetes.

Also, if you're looking for one book to help relatives understand the management of type 1 diabetes, this is a good place to start. The material is well organized and very easy to understand, yet covers the essentials."

Reviews:
Field guide? more like a short trip: A field guide may be a quick and helpful orientation to the wilderness, but ultimately leave you lost. As someone who is newly diagnosed with diabetes, I wanted all the information I could get about diabetes, its treatment, and suggestions for coping with it. This book left me with more questions than answers. I'd say if you want to help your friends and relatives understand diabetes, this book may be helpful, especially if they have short attention spans. But I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is headed off into the wilderness of learning about diabetes and needs a reliable guide that can help you cope with unexpected dangers.
