I'm sure you know that when you see your doctor, there’s very little time to ask questions, and it’s often hard to understand the answers when you do get them. You may not even know what questions you should be asking. Well your questions are important and you deserve to have answers.

This Diabetes educational DVD will help you learn the answers to your questions in easy to understand language and with simple examples. You'll learn what’s going on in your own body, what lab tests to get and what the results mean. Learn about the medications you're taking, how they work and how to avoid possible side-effects. Watch as I show how to use your glucose monitor.

Each topic in this DVD presentation is conveniently laid out for you to follow. Watch the entire presentation or only selected chapters. When your doctor changes medications or you get new lab results, return to the DVD for a quick review of the facts. No need to drive and sit through a class. Share the presentation with friends or a loved one.
