The word sex… Oh boy you say? There is a new book that has hit bookshelves and boy is it ever needed. When was the last time anyone in the health care profession asked you about your sex life? Probably a very long time. Funny thing is that sexual dysfunction and sexual changes are very natural and common among many who suffer from diseases such as diabetes. And why be embarrassed? We all do it right (if not the human race would have come to a screeching halt)? The book Sex and Diabetes For Him and For Her has answers to vacuum pumps, erectile dysfunction, orgasms, decreased vaginal sensitivity and every other worry or question you could possibly come up with. It is presented in a very real, nonthreatening tone and the writers hit the nail on the head in my opinion. ...

It caught my eye because 1.) it got very favorable reader reviews and 2.) it addresses a topic that is usually neglected - being a good parent when it's you with diabetes. When You're a Parent was published in September 2006 by Healthy Living Books.Interesting, that. I mean, there are tons of resources out there about raising children with diabetes and keeping them healthy.

There are, of course, a bunch of books on the market. Maybe not quite as many as I'd expected though. (Perhaps T1 parents turn to the web for support these days?) Anyway, there were some clear favorites amongst readers. But be prepared.
