Outsmarting Diabetes: A Dynamic Approach for Reducing the Effects of Insulin-Dependent Diabetes

by Richard S. Beaser M.D., Joslin Diabetes Center Staff (With)

Overview

From the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center and the coauthor of the million-copy seller, The Joslin Diabetes Manual, this book is based on the results of the ten-year Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) from the National Institutes of Health—which proved that intensive control, opposed to standard methods, greatly reduces the effects of diabetes and the risk of long-term complications.
