abstract: THIS LOW-BUDGET, handy-sized book has been written primarily for patients with type 2 diabetes to motivate them to self-manage their condition. However, it is an equally valuable reference for healthcare professionals. The three colour-coded sections offer appropriate levels of information for readers, with interesting illustrations and highlighted boxes to emphasise the details worthy of attention. The dietary advice and gentle physical exercises supported by photographs would be useful for health professionals to adapt for patients for individualised fitness programmes according to their specific needs.
