Awards and reviews for ADA Guide to Insulin & Type 2 Diabetes
“Contains information that is usually learned after years of clinical practice. It is an excellent resource for people with type 2 diabetes as well as the health care professionals who work with them.”– Geri Spollett, MSN, C-ANP, CDE
“ADA's Guide to Insulin & Type 2 Diabetes is thorough yet concise. The answers and explanations often come from people who know best: those with diabetes who have lived it, learned it, and are willing to share their firsthand experiences.”
– Jason Iitz, PharmD, CDM
Reviews of A Field Guide to Type 2 Diabetes
“Written very clearly, this is a straightforward,
unemotional, comprehensive guide for both those newly diagnosed and those who
have had diabetes for many years.”
— Massachusetts General Hospital, Treadwell Library, Oct. 2004
“A Field Guide to Type 2 Diabetes is an excellent book for the patient or family member. It is even more valuable to the diabetes educator who is trying to explain in simple terms a very complicated disease to someone without a medical background.”
— Bill Kearney, RPh, co-host of Health Talk, KXBX Radio, Lakeport, California
“This book delivers as advertised. The format is similar to
a travel guide, which makes it easy to find the destination (or topic) of
choice and go directly to it. Tables and charts allow for a quick reference to
facts about laboratory tests or medications. The addition of a personal touch,
such as comments from actual patients on topics taken from the ADA web site,
give it a unique focus as compared to other diabetes fact books.”
“The Field Guide pays special
attention to everyday issues that people with diabetes face, such as finding
medical services or dealing with a doctor who is not very interested in
diabetes. These are issues that it might take several years for a patient to
address, especially if they don't attend diabetes classes or support groups.
This is a comprehensive resource, written by well-known diabetes experts, which
serves as a good beginner's guide to the nuts and bolts of diabetes.”
—Ruth Mencl, MN RN CDE, book review in Voice of the
Diabetic
“As a newly diagnosed diabetic I found this book to be the easiest to
understand and most informative one I read. Everything was clearly written and
I felt all pertinent topics were discussed.”
—Customer review on Amazon.com
“A Field Guide To Type 2 Diabetes provides a fine resource covering everything from initial diagnosis to common complications.”
—Midwest Book Review

“…hilarious… so outrageous it turns out to be more hysterical than sick, and political correctness again receives a thorough thrashing. But once more there are serious themes underneath and the actors do such a good job that it takes a while to realize McCarren is tweaking everything from PETA to the Terry Schiavo case here.”
—David Cannon, arts critic, Montgomery County Sentinel, August 4, 2005
