Diabetes: Type II non-insulin-dependent nutrition based
posted in Definitions, Diabetes |“d.m., non-insulin-dependent. A group of forms of diabetes mellitus that occur predominantly in adults. … Occasionally insulin therapy is required. Obese patients can be controlled by avoidance of overfeeding.” Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, Ed. 17, F.A. Davis Company, Philadelphia, p.534.
This is a reference book we HIGHLY recommend. Anyone associated with medical training (nurses, doctors, emergency medics, home school moms) will be quite familiar with it. I picked up my 1st two copies at community college bookstores where they offer nursing schools–sometimes for less money than I’ve seen elsewhere, especially as “used” books. We’ve bought this more current one here at the Co-op. They have an excellent online version–but nothing replaces your own hard copy if you research or write or study basic medical information regularly.
