managing and living with the disease whether one is a patient or a supportive family member.
There are resources on every type that anyone can be diagnosed with from type 1 and 2 to gestational diabetes. Type 2 is commonly undiagnosed for years in many patients because the symptoms do not manifest themselves early on as aggressively as other types. Patient need to find informative books on diabetes in order to understand how to handle type 2. Type 2 accounts for about 90% of all cases in America and can be managed many times through proper diet and exercise under a physician's direction.
Many books also provide exercise regimens and menu preparation suggestions for those with type 2. When a family member is diagnosed with any type, everyone needs to be supportive and encouraging while the patient is making major lifestyle changes. In order to control type 2, a patient needs to have the loving support of loved ones. Many diabetes books outline several strategies for diet and exercise that can help get the disease under control and patients must have family and friends who join in their diet changes and exercise efforts as much as possible. Prayer and help from God can make the transition into the new lifestyle easier. "O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help" (Psalm 71:12).
Type 2 can be handled relatively well and need not deteriorate into worse health with just a little discipline and determination. Diabetes books will say that type 1 presents a more serious challenge to sufferers since it is an autoimmune disease and can make its onset during childhood. Damage to the heart, kidneys, loss of eye sight and high blood pressure are just a few of the common symptoms associated with type 1. Many books on diabetes can be purchased that also address type 1 and provide various diet and exercise plans for type 1 patients. Since type 1 is a much more serious health condition, insulin injections are always required for all type 1 patients in order to control the disease.
Many resources are available that provide information for type 1, but there are generally no alternative methods of treatment to insulin injections. In fact, it is quite serious for patients to forego insulin and failure to adhere to a management plan for type 1 can result in insulin shock or even death. Patients who live with type 1 very often live a very regimented life in order to maintain control of diabetic symptoms. The disease can be very difficult psychologically to handle as well and there are many books on diabetes that can offer advice on managing stress with the disease.
There are books that also address gestational diabetes which is a type that is associated with pregnancy and disappears after childbirth. It carries risk factors for both mother and child and so mothers must treat gestational diabetes with diet, exercise and in some cases, insulin. A baby born from a mother who has gestational type is more likely to weigh more, can often have jaundice and may be born with low blood sugar. Mothers who have gestational type are more likely to have a difficult time in childbirth since their babies tend to be larger and cannot travel the birth canal as quickly.
For anyone who is diagnosed with gestational type, it's well worth the time to read several resources in order to be well prepared for diabetes management during pregnancy.

There are many good books on diabetes that can offer tips and suggestions for those who wish to assist sufferers.
A few common sense tips can be found in books such as to be careful to communicate with a diabetic patient about all the health and emotional issues involved in the illness. Another tip is to be helpful, but not controlling when dealing with food, medication and exercise issues. On the other hand, always encourage patients to faithfully continue with their course of treatment.
