Book description
Diabetes is described by the World Health Organization as an
epidemic. But, effective control can greatly improve life expectancy,
and reduce complications such as cardiovascular disease, stroke,
kidney disease and blindness. Living with Type 1 Diabetes looks at
ways to tackle type 1 diabetes in adults and teenagers, including
late-onset type 1 diabetes. It covers lifestyle factors such as
exercise, diet, weight control, and smoking cessation. It also looks
at how to organize your insulin, pumps, and transplants, and why
increasing numbers of people with type 2 diabetes need insulin.
