Book Reviews of Type 1 Diabetes For Dummies

Book Review: seems pointless
Summary: 2 Stars

This is helpful for non-diabetics, particularly people who want to learn about a friend or relatives disease. Though much of the information is available on the websites of the big diabetes organizations. If you are an adult type 1 diabetic it is not very helpful as it is really written for the parents of a type 1 child. The problem is that parents of a type 1 child, will definitely need books that more effectively and thoroughly discuss the disease, treatments, diet.. and these books will, in all likelihood, have a general overview of the disease as well. Most books on diabetes do, and are almost always written for the general public. So the dummies book here seems pointless.
