Of the 17 million Americans who have diabetes, approximately 9.3
of that number are women. And it appears that number of women with
diabetes is increasing each year. Diabetes is particularly
difficult for women in large part due to the hormonal changes
associated with the menstrual cycle, changes that affect blood
sugar levels. As a consequence women with diabetes have higher
rates of chest pain, heart attack, coronary heart disease and
stroke. And women with diabetes face special challenges.
The "Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes" provides advice, tips, and
research from a diverse community of women living with diabetes. It
provides practical insight and references for the optimal
management of diabetes from women living with the disease as well
as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and educators. Personal
anecdotes from nearly one hundred women throughout the book reveal
both the good and the bad of living with diabetes, including the
frustration, sense of shame, sense of isolation as well as the
capacity for strength and the opportunity for growth.
The "Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes" lets you know that you are
not alone but rather it will make you feel like you are sitting in
your favorite coffee shop with your friends who share the same
disease.
