Review by Booklist Review

This selection from the Fast Track: Living With series (6 titles) serves as an educational tool for those looking to understand diabetes and how it can be managed. Brief chapters introduce this common disease and its two types, explaining (in general terms) how the disease works and the role of insulin in the body, as well as how diabetes might be acquired. It goes on to show different ways those with diabetes can monitor and manage their condition and offers tips for staying healthy. Stock photos, along with a dash of digital artwork and stat boxes, add color and interest to the text. Standard back matter rounds out this introductory volume that is suited to the younger set living with diabetes and those who want to understand it better.
