"A comprehensive overview of diabetes including the physiology, treatment and practical aspects. Ideally suited to the healthcare professional" Kate Campbell, Head of Diabetes Care & Information Services, BRITISH DIABETIC ASSOCIATION

"...an excellent video with potential for wide application. I believe it would also be a valuable resource in public libraries and universities for use in degrees such as health education and the undergraduate nursing degree. It is also appropriate for use in diabetes centres to provide certain patients with a general overview of diabetes or in some cases only one section may be appropriate i.e. this video provides a good visual description of hypoglycaemia which would be excellent for carers and adult persons with insulin dependent diabetes. All information contained in the video is accurate and applicable to the Australian population at this time (written Feb 1998). The video is not suitable for young children or young adults..."
