My father recently moved in with us and learning to manage his diabetes has been a challenge for all of us.  From preparing foods for him to understanding his condition there has been so much for us to learn.  This book has proven to be a very helpful resource for us and I strongly recommend it for anyone learning to live with diabetes or for families dealing with diabetes.  The section regarding how to stay away from sweets when the cravings hit was particularly helpful for us as my kids often have sweets in the house that tempt him.  It is nice to learn about some options to manage his sweet tooth in a healthy way.  The diabetic diet for the elderly section was also very helpful.  Overall, this book is well-written, very comprehensive and a wonderful, detailed resource.  There is even a section that it teaches you how to manage diabetes in your pets; luckily our pets don't suffer from diabetes but I learned a lot about prevention.
