DIABETES AS A WAY OF LIFE

by Dr. T. S. Danowski ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 21, 1957

For a clear, detailed, comprehensive study of a much discussed subject this is outstanding and, in that it is written in language which is readily understandable by the layman, it differs from other books and pamphlets about the disease. All phases of diabetes are covered:- the difference between its effect on male and female, child and adult, tense and placid, is pointed up; various treatments and tests, the handling of mild and severe cases are discussed; treatment by the injection of insulin and the use of newly discovered drugs in tablet form are explained. For the diabetic who has studied his problem this re-emphasizes the importance of constant vigilance and adds much to his background of knowledge. To the diabetic who has not studied his problem the book is a ""must"". To the family of the diabetic it gives enlightenment on how to deal with and help the one afflicted -- and it even gives some helpful hints for hostesses who might have diabetics among their quests A definite market for this.
