Mayo Clinic The Essential Diabetes Book, 3rd Edition
A complete guide to prevent, manage and live well with diabetes
Today, more than ever, you have to assume responsibility for your future and play an active role in protecting your health. This is especially true if you are living with or at risk of diabetes. The good news is that despite the challenges you may be facing, there are multiple opportunities to improve and protect your health. Our goal — mine and those of the other contributors to this book — is to help you identify and act upon those opportunities. And in encouraging this action, we hope to keep you on the path to good health.
In this third edition of Mayo Clinic The Essential Diabetes Book, we provide you with key steps to managing diabetes. This includes essential advice on how to monitor your blood sugar, how to eat better, how to become more physically active, how to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight, and how to get the most from your medications. If you have a child with diabetes, you'll also learn practical tips, including on how to recognize key signs and symptoms, involving your child in diabetes care, and coping with the emotional aspects of diabetes.
In this book, Mayo Clinic experts provide comprehensive advice on:
- Monitoring your blood sugar
- Eating well (including recipes) and managing carb intake
- Becoming more active and fit
- Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight
- Getting the most from your medications
- Using different insulin regimens to manage your blood sugar
- Dealing with diabetes distress and burnout
- Helping your child thrive with diabetes
- And more!
We've also added some new chapters to this latest edition. Technology is transforming diabetes management and making it easier for people to monitor their blood sugar and manage insulin therapy. But the rapid pace of technology development can be overwhelming. We aim to give you practical guidance on the pros and cons of diabetes technology and help you decide what fits best into your lifestyle.
Living with diabetes day in and day out can be emotionally draining, causing distress and burnout. Our new chapter on living well with diabetes provides tips and strategies for navigating relationships, managing stress, cultivating coping skills and finding extra help when you need it.
Finally, we've added a new chapter on traveling with diabetes because having diabetes shouldn't stop you from seeking adventure and living an active and full life.
Diabetes is serious — and increasingly common. But with this book, you can learn how to successfully manage the disease and lead a long, healthy and productive life.
