Product Description
“In The African American Guide to Diabetes, Constance Brown-Riggs very effectively demonstrates an important Health Power principle, namely the importance of Different Strokes for Different Folks . She shares a wealth of information about diabetes that has been specifically tailored for African Americans, in a down to earth fashion, and emphasizes the important interrelationships of spiritual health, mental health, and physical health, in Living Well with Diabetes. This book is a valuable resource for African Americans with diabetes, and for their family members and friends, whose increased understanding of diabetes will help to increase their support of those affected.“
Norma J. Goodwin, M.D., Founder, President and CEO, Health Power for Minorities (Health Power)
“Connie Brown-RiggsÂ’s…culturally appropriate messages are an extraordinary benefit to African-Americans, particularly women, who are often not fully aware of the lifestyle changes they can and should make to prevent diabetes and improve their health and that of their families.”
Wendy C. Brawley, publisher and CEO, IMARA Woman magazine
“This book provides cutting-edge information on diet, exercise, and medication, synthesized with other aspects of diabetes care, including spirituality-providing a total lifestyle wellness plan. I support this book with high enthusiasm.”
Wahida Karmally, DrPH, RD, CDE, associate research scientist, Director of Nutrition, Irving Institute of Clinical and Translational Research, Columbia University
More than 4 million African-Americans have diabetes; thousands more have pre-diabetes or are at risk for the condition. But in 21 years as a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, Constance Brown-Riggs found few books that even vaguely addressed the unique health concerns of this population.
This comprehensive guide includes:
The latest medical treatments for diabetes-medications, insulin therapies, blood glucose monitors, plus the pros and cons of supplements, herbs, and alternative diets.
What you canÂ’t eat– and what you can.
Dozens of mouthwatering Caribbean and soul food recipes, with a two-week menu plan.

Journal articles describing the psychometric development of scales rarely include the scales themselves. Potential users of the scales have had to contact individual researchers in order to see the actual instruments. The Handbook includes copies of the scales presented in the chapters. It is designed to help researchers and clinicians a) to select scales suitable for their purposes, b) to administer and score the scales appropriately, c) to interpret the results appropriately.
This handbook provides access to a wide selection of psychological measures for use in diabetes research and clinical practice. Information about the reliability, validity, scoring, norms, and use of the measures in previous research is assimilated in one volume. Much of this information has not previously been published elsewhere. Contributors have included published information about their scales which has previously been widely dispersed throughout the medical and psychological literature, together with unpublished info
