It is with great pleasure that the LIDA announces the release of the latest book by NY RD Connie Brown Riggs:   The African American Guide To Living Well With Diabetes, New Page Books, June 2010 ( ISBN:1601631154)

The book has received the "Favorably Reviewed" designation from the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) and carries their logo on the back cover. The designation of Favorably Reviewed by AADE assures health professionals that the educational content of the book has been carefully evaluated by representatives of a variety of health professions based on set guidelines, and with respect to:
-Accuracy of the diabetes information
-Readability and grade level (using the SMOG readability scale)
-Cultural, gender and body-type diversity
-Appropriateness for target audience

We're confident you will want to use this book in your programs and share it with those in your care who have been touched by diabetes.

The book is available online now at Amazon or Barnes & Noble and soon in your local book store.
