Part I of this chapter explains the special concerns of pregnant women with diabetes. Part II offers advice to parents of children with diabetes. The Glossary defines many of the medical terms that persons with diabetes need to know. The chapters are constructed to help you learn about your diabetes now, and also to make information available when you need it. Some of the chapters end with a series of questions and answers that may help clear up confusion about information in the chapter.
Several chapters lists products for people with diabetes or refer to other publications on diabetes.
Your health-care provider can advise you on products and help you locate publications. Finally, there is a glossary of diabetes-related terms at the end of the handbook. The glossary is a useful resource while you are learning about diabetes. Read this handbook carefully. Take notes if it helps you learn.
