LIVING WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES:MOVING PAST THE FEAR

LIVING WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES: MOVING PAST THE FEARGloria Loring was awarded the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation’s Lifetime Commitment Award in 1999

With dietary and lifestyle choices fueling a rise in type 2 diabetes, coping with this treatable disease has become a priority for millions. Unfortunately, although type 2 diabetes can be treated, the specifics of how to effectively combine insulin, diet, and exercise are often difficult to master. Gloria Loring—a regular contributor to the Diabetes Wellness Letter as well as a famous singer, songwriter, star of the TV drama Days of Our Lives, and mother of a diabetic child—co-authors with Dr. Timothy Gray to clearly explain how to identify and live with type 2 diabetes. The authors draw on up-to-date research and first-hand experiences to create a book that is both easy to follow and empathetic toward those with the disease and their loved ones. Included are self-assessment tools, useful to the estimated 5.2 million Americans who are unaware they have the disease, as well as step-by-step instructions on managing diabetes.
