Review :
The book explores everything; diagnosis, dietary and exercise advice, landmark studies, and even the technology used in insulin pumps and glucose meters . . . Any medical language is clearly explained making it easy to think about how this information can be conveyed and best understood in clinical practice . . . Given that no two diabetic patients are the same, something the book consistently points out, this would be particularly valuable for the ward-based bedside nurse at the forefront of patient care looking to comprehend this variety as quickly and easily as possible and incorporate it into their practice. —Nursing Times Diabetes Head to Toe is a comprehensive guide to understanding and living with an epidemic, chronic disease. —Harvard Magazine Do you need a comprehensive reference book about all things diabetes? Pick up a copy of Diabetes Head to Toe . . . Dr. Kalyani is at the forefront of the movement to educate health care professionals about diabetes language and stigma and her book reflects that. You won't find any judgments, just a lot of practical information about overcoming denial, educating yourself, and making appropriate lifestyle changes . . . Everyone's diabetes is different and this book perfectly addresses that fact. —Shelby Kinnaird, Diabetic Foodie
