Gr 6-12-Similar in format to other series entries, this title explains Type I and Type II diabetes; presents a brief history; and discusses causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The text is clear and easy to understand. Average-to-poor quality black-and-white photographs show patients both receiving treatment and medicating themselves. There are no anatomical diagrams. Sarah R. Riedman's Diabetes (Watts, 1980; o.p.) places more emphasis on treatment and has an easier reading level. Barbara Goodheart's Diabetes (Watts, 1990) is more comprehensive, especially in self-care areas. However, the Silversteins' book has information about genetic predisposition and new aggressive treatments. There is also a substantial up-to-date bibliography of books, pamphlets, and periodical articles.-Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY
