Diabetes at your fingertips. Peter H Sönksen, Charles Fox, Sue Judd. Sydney: McGraw-Hill, 2003 (275 pp). ISBN 0 074 71275 6.

Diabetes at your fingertips is a practical, useful guide on the everyday issues of living with diabetes. Diabetes Australia* has drawn from its panel of experienced medical experts to present the most commonly asked questions, with simple answers in non-medical terms.

This book explores issues such as different ways of treating diabetes, how to adjust your lifestyle and eating habits, and the effects of diabetes on pregnant women, children and teenagers.


*Diabetes Australia is the country's leading diabetes consumer organisation, committed to the needs of those who live with diabetes and those at risk of developing the disease. It is a non-government, charitable federation of 12 major diabetes organisations.

"This outstanding publication should be essential reading for all who have been diagnosed with diabetes."

Nikolai Petrovsky
Director, National Health Sciences Centre
