Prevent Diabetes Problems Series Updated

The NDIC's seven-booklet easy-to-read series on preventing diabetes problems was recently updated with the most recent targets for blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids. We also added series numbers on the covers to make assembling a set—or identifying a missing title—quick and easy. The Spanish translations of the updates will be available in 2004. This illustrated series describes the long-term complications of diabetes and provides suggestions for preventing or delaying these problems.

• No. 1: Prevent Diabetes Problems: Keep Your Diabetes in Control
  
  
• No. 2: Prevent Diabetes Problems: Keep Your Heart and Blood Vessels Healthy
