Synopsis

Recommended by Canada's Dr. Mike (myfavoritemedicine.com), Women's College Hospital (womenshealthmatters.ca), and Canadian Pensioners Concerned (canpension.ca). Updated to include the latest Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines, this is the only book on Type 2 diabetes specifically for the Canadian population. With a Foreword by Michael Evans, MD, Chair, Patient Education, College of Family Physicians of Canada, and trusted by Canadian doctors and patients for over ten years, the third edition of The Canadian Type 2 Diabetes Sourcebook gives you all the tools you need to manage Type 2 diabetes in a 21st century Canadian healthcare system. Find out the latest in diabetes self-care; medications; insulins; as well as new approaches to diet, which no longer require you to use the outdated and confusing CDA "food choice value system." This book will also discuss how you can make lifestyle modifications that could reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes, and may even reverse it. Special chapters on pediatric Type 2 diabetes, aboriginal Canadians, and pregnancy make this the most exhaustive and comprehensive book on Type 2 diabetes for Canadians.
