Abstract: Basic information on carbohydrate metabolism involving glucose and insulin, alterations in this metabolism in the diabetic state, and on the characteristics, causes, and treatment of diabetes is given in lay language for diabetics. Attention is given to the signs and symptoms of diabetes, the insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent types of diabetes, factors that can trigger diabetes onset in people having an inherited tendency to diabetes, and the use of diet, exercise, and medication in diabetes therapy. Information is also given on diabetic emergencies (including hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, coma, hypoglycemia, and their treatments), maintenance of a personal diabetes record, and the diabetes care health team.
