Living with diabetes - Jenny Bryan

This engaging book gives readers a clear idea of what it is like to live with diabetes both for sufferers and their families and friends.

Looking at the different lives of four individuals, the book describes what diabetes is and the two different types, how it can be treated, what injecting insulin involves, the sort of diets people with diabetes need to eat, measuring blood-sugar levels and getting help.

Jenny Bryan is a very experienced medical journalist who has written a number of children's information books on health issues and contributes regularly to newspapers and magazines.

The 'Living with' series has a particular strength: we meet real children and adults coping with their disabilities.
