Of the 17 million Americans who have diabetes, approximately 9.3 of that number are women. And it appears that number of women with diabetes is increasing each year. Diabetes is particularly difficult for women in large part due to the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle, changes that affect blood sugar levels. As a consequence women with diabetes have higher rates of chest pain, heart attack, coronary heart disease and stroke. And women with diabetes face special challenges. The Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes provides advice, tips, and research from a diverse community of women living with diabetes. It provides practical insight and references for the optimal management of diabetes from women living with the disease as well as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and educators. Personal anecdotes from nearly one hundred women throughout the book reveal both the good and the bad of living with diabetes, including the frustration, sense of shame, sense of isolation as well as the capacity for strength and the opportunity for growth. The Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes lets you know that you are not alone but rather it will make you feel like you are sitting in your favorite coffee shop with your friends who share the same disease. Special Features of Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes include: Personal anecdotes on a wide variety of topics are in every chapter Authentic advice from women living with diabetes Expert tips from female endocrinologists, educators, and nutritionists who are also living with diabetes Comprehensive in scope this books examines all the challenges and issues women with diabetes face Research and statistics are provided for each topic

By 2004, one in four North Americans over the age of 45 will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (90% of all diabetes in North America is Type 2). In communities at higher risk, this statistic is even more frightening. Female hormonal fluctuations often cause blood sugar and insulin levels to vary more widely in women than in men. As a result, the complications faced by women with diabetes can be more insidious. Dr. M. Sara Rosenthal explains the range of complications associated with diabetes in the female body, focusing sharply on stopping them before they start -- naturally. Type 2 diabetes is in itself not life threatening, but the complications that can develop from failing to manage the disease are. This book concentrates mainly on the complications of diabetes in women and presents strategies to prevent or treat the complications naturally -- through diet, vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs, exercise, movement, and alternative styles of healing. Complications of diabetes include everything from heart attacks, strokes, diabetic neuropathy (which can lead to the loss of nerve function from head to toe and, eventually, to amputation), blindness or low vision, dental complications, kidney problems, and sexual dysfunction. To combat these problems, Dr. Rosenthal also provides strategies for Type 2 diabetic women, from blood sugar management, to reducing damage to kidneys, to staying naturally sexy. Each of the chapters contains alternative approaches to dealing with a specific complication, including sections on "What to Eat" (food and supplements), "How to Move" (exercises and body work), and "Flower Power" (herbs and aromatherapy).
