About this ebook
Abstract: This illustrated booklet on noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitis (NIDDM) educates the public about the symptoms, risk factors, and importance of diagnosing and treating NIDDM. This disease is believed to affect between 10 and 11 million America ns and is considered to be the most common type of diabetes. The author states that NIDDM can cause serious, long-term complications that affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves, even before NIDDM is diagnosed. Diet and exercise are considered that main forms of treatment of NIDDM; oral drugs and insulin may be used if the aforementioned therapy fails to control the disease. A "point to remember" section is included at the end of each topic.
