Synopsis

Today, Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest-growing chronic conditions, in part because of the epidemic increase in obesity, and it is now being diagnosed in children and young adults as well as in older adults. Although diabetes is incurable, it can be controlled, through a combination of diet, exercise, and medication. Now, The First Year -- Type 2 Diabetes, like other titles in The First series, guides those newly diagnosed through their first year, covering the full range of the practical, medical, and lifestyle issues. Author Gretchen Becker, who herself has Type 2 diabetes and has become an expert on the condition, discusses treatment options, diet, emotional issues related to diabetes, insurance, traveling, exercise, and much more.

The First Year -- Type 2 Diabetes will be an indispensable book for everyone grappling with the major and minor life changes that a diabetes diagnosis demands.
