[acb-diabetics] how much diabetic education have you had?

[Jo Stombaugh]

Speaking of the BARD site, do you all have any books from there to recommend 
particularly related to Type II diabetes, diet, etc. that you would consider 
helpful? I never got any education either, except for one session with a 
dietician which was helpful but have done a lot of reading on my own with 
Diabetes Forecast and Diabetes Self-management. I also get the Diabetic 
Living newsletter online but was just wondering if there are any really 
helpful books on Bard or Bookshare. Thanks.

Jo Anne.

no, the educator doesn't serve my area so it's not an issue of wanting
business.
