Score!! Deb Manzella, a respected NY-based RN who writes for the New York Times Company's About.com/diabetes, has just come out giving Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes perfect marks. Here's what she had to say:
"Cons? There are no cons. It's the perfect diabetes reference handbook."
This after she offers a meaty list of Pros for the book:
- Gives a comprehensive gameplan for managing the five most important areas of diabetes management
- Outlines the tests you need and tells you why they're important
- Gives you the science behind the numbers in easy to understand language
- Gives you the tools to bring your test results into the range you need.
- Gives additional advice about nutrition, exercise, medications, and much, much more.
"...This book is a terrific resource for diabetes management. After you learn the five most important tests, the book gives you the tools you need to keep your test results as normal as possible. Exercise, nutrition, medications, glucometers and other equipment all influence what your own personal test results will be.
"Beyond the basics, Dr. Jackson and Ms. Tenderich also address coping issues, healthcare basics, and resources to turn to for support and more information.
"Also, charts and diary pages to help you keep track of your results and your progress. This book stresses that knowing your numbers and working to improve them is the road to a complication-free life, and it gives you the tools to achieve it, too."

We're especially pleased with Deb's response knowing that she has extensive experience helping patients with diabetes, from teaching the newly
diagnosed, to providing continuing care for diabetic
patients in the hospital. She's a strong advocate for "Knowledge Is Power" -- a lady after our own hearts...
