But the truth is that if you are one of the many people who have type 2 diabetes—also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes—there are many things you can do to control your diabetes. My Doctor Says I Have a Little Diabetes was designed to help you do just that.  

Written in easy-to-understand language, this book begins by explaining the basics of diabetes and diabetes care.
