- At-home blood-sugar tests don't tell the whole story. Learn about the six other tests, such as the A1c, that can help put you in charge of your health.

- Something as simple as walking can boost your insulin sensitivity-and make you feel like a new person.
- Exciting developments, such as implantable glucose sensors and insulin pumps, may soon revolutionize the treatment of diabetes.
STOPPING DIABETES IN ITS TRACKS is filled with practical tips for better health and better living.
