Covering both Type I and Type II diabetes, this comprehensive program is intended to aid the estimated 12 million diabetics in America. Former New York Mets baseball star Ed Kranepool, and actress and singer Gloria Loring (whose son Brennan Thicke has diabetes) share their experiences with and tips concerning diabetes. The emphasis is on learning which foods are better suited to diabetics, being brought up to date on the latest medical research and consumer products for treating and coping with diabetes, and discussion of the common complications associated with diabetes and how to avoid them. The program concludes with some tasty recipes for lentil soup and lemon chicken provided by Loring. Excellent information as well as good production values make this video a fine choice for public libraries. Highly recommended.
