We all know that lifestyle changes can prevent heart disease, but how many of us know that incorporating small changes into our daily life can substantially lessen our risk for getting type 2 diabetes? Twenty million Americans are at risk for this type of diabetes (also known as adult onset diabetes). This book aims to be “the guide for all of us interested in living without this disease.” First, What You Can Do to Prevent Diabetes takes you through the steps for getting ready to make a change, planning your goals and the action steps for reaching them, dealing with lapses, and celebrating successes. Then the authors focus on the specific keys to avoiding type 2 diabetes: managing your weight, getting active, and building healthier eating habits. Simple, practical tips include the “80/20 Rule” (“If 80 percent of the time you make healthful food choices, the other 20 percent of the time can fall through the cracks without adversely affecting your health”) and the “Strive for Five” goal (aim for five servings of fruits and vegetables each day). A nice touch is the “Simple Changes Journal” at the end of every section, where you write down some changes you can make today, this week, and this month to get closer to your goals. This is a slim book and not very comprehensive–the authors explore just the essentials that you need to take your first steps towards making a change. –Joan Price

Product Description
Peripheral neuropathy has reached epidemic proportions in recent years. This condition has numerous causes, but can be associated with diseases such as HIV, alcoholism, diabetes, and lupus and may result from medical treatments such as chemotherapy. Symptoms include pain, numbness, loss of balance, and tingling or burning in the extremities. Although widespread, neuropathy is not well understood, and finding reliable information about it can be difficult. Written by a leading doctor in the field and a patient-expert, You Can Cope with Peripheral Neuropathy: 365 Tips for Living a Full Life covers such diverse topics as what to ask at doctor appointments, how to make the house easier to navigate, where to find a support group, how to use vitamins and herbs for treatment, ways to travel safe, and more. The information in this practical book is aimed at both the millions of people afflicted with neuropathy and the families, caregivers, and health-care providers who share the trauma of this debilitating disease.

Product Description
Diabetes happens in a life that already has a story. This book, composed of nearly forty personal narratives, based on taped interviews, about the lives of actual patients with diabetes, draws upon the collective experience of an endocrinologist and two nurse practitioners who worked together for twenty-five years.
The people who describe their experiences with diabetes range from teenagers to physicians, immigrants, athletes, pregnant women, accountants, a prisoner, and a dairy farmer. They speak of the variety of ways they handle monitoring, diet, insurance coverage, sports, and fashion. Some talk of how they manage to drive trucks for a living or, for recreation, fly airplanes or go spelunking. Many speak frankly of their anxieties and frustrations.
The authors acknowledge that both the patient and clinician have a story about their relationship, and describe the richness and tension in their interaction. Families, too, are sources of both support and conflict. These relationships are acknowledged in the organization of the book, which is divided into sections defined by the main elements of diabetes control: patient self-determination, the role of the family, the social situation, and the patient-clinician encounter.
The book provides a wealth of information about diabetes, including material on prevention, complications, and new technology, as well as a superb glossary, but it is not intended as a textbook on diabetes or as a self-care manual for patients. Rather the book provides a textured account of the health professional’s view of diabetes control and the perspective of the patient whose life is complicated by diabetes.
