About this title

Review

"...in style and substance, this is an excellent book. People with and without diabetes will find it very useful. I recommend every diabetic to own a copy of this interesting book." -- Mrs T Menon, London

"An excellent book. It is comprehensive, informative, and easy to read and understand." -- Don Kendrick, Seaton, Devon

"Diabetes at your fingertips is an extensively revised and updated version of the Diabetes Reference Book first published in 1985. The original was an excellent book but this is even better." -- Professor Robert Tattersall, Diabetes in the News

"I have read the book myself from cover to cover and found it to be most informative, up-to-date and presented in a format which is easy to assimilate by the majority of people with diabetes who will undoubtedly relate some question to a particular experience of their own - and find the answer." -- Philip Whitmore, Macclesfield

"I like the form it takes (questions and answers); it makes it much easier to find specific areas when a problem does arise. Also it makes easier reading for picking up and putting down without having to wade through chapter after chapter of heavy medical jargon which for the lay person can be very difficult to take in and understand." -- Mrs Pam Munford, Lincoln

"I think the book is excellent value since it answers all the basic requirements of diabetes and has answers to questions I have not seen written down before (in fact the whole family is interested in reading it)." -- D Ball, Nottingham

"It will be a very useful reference book for patients and health professionals alike." -- Mrs Penny Rodie, Dietician, BUPA Roding Hospital, Ilford

"Like a good wine, this book has got better and better over the past ten years and I will certainly recommend it to my patients, as I have the previous editions. I suppose there must be questions which it does not answer, but it is difficult to think what they are. There is even advice on parachuting and scuba diving which are omitted from many other books. In summary, I think it is brilliant, exactly what one would have expected from the three authors, all of whom I have known for over 20 years." -- Robert Tattersall, Professor of Clinical Diabetes, Queens' Medical Centre, Nottingham

"My family have found the information in your book of great value - it has been a godsend in many ways - we hope that it will help many more in the same situation." -- Mrs P Greasley & family, Stoke-on-Trent

"My father has very long-standing and brittle insulin-dependent diabetes who thought he knew all there was to know about his condition. However, he was clearly most impressed with your book and has found it informative and useful. He is a man who is extremely difficult to impress and you have done it. Well done!" -- Mrs Rachel Booker, Cheltenham

"What sets this book apart from others is the fact that it answers questions that most books dealing with diabetes cannot. It also surprises the reader with questions perhaps one would not even have thought of. Overall this is a most interesting and useful book suitable for people with diabetes, their families, health professionals and anyone interested in diabetes. It is a book that once bought will be used over and over again, and works out to be good value." -- Balance, the Magazine of Diabetes UK
