糖尿病不能根治，病徵亦不明顯，確診後可能數十年沒有病況，也有患者突然出現多種嚴重併發症，病情一發不可收拾，令人防不勝防。糖尿病的嚴重性更不在糖尿病本身，而在其多變的併發症上，例如高血壓、視網膜病變、心臟病、高脂血症等。要有效控制病情，減少或減輕併發症，保持生活質素，關鍵在於及時與合理的診治。本書作者為腎臟病的專家學者，現職於香港浸會大學中醫藥學院。他在書中詳述適切的中西藥療法，在飲食調理、挑選運動、心理調適等方面提供具體建議，強調中醫療法、健康管理與病情監測的重要意義，更解答患者常見的生活疑難，例如可不可以吃水果？多久應檢測血糖一次？運動前血糖低怎麼辦？

这本《从零开始学日语，这本就够》满足了初学者的所有要求。不仅封面大方美观，内容更是丰富多彩。从基础的“五十音图”入门，到日常生活、青春校园、职场风云、诗歌、歌词等，几乎涵盖了所有你能想到的，以及你若是有机会去日本旅游生活或是工作能够用到的所有方面。

　　这本书的主要目的是给零基础的朋友们普及法语语音。法语的发音相对来说还是非常有规律的。每个字母或是字母组合，都对应着一个特定的发音，（也就是我们要学习的音素）。只要记住了这些字母和字母组合的发音规则，那么我们便可以自己拼读所有的法语单词。想要接触一门新的语言，直观的身体感受就是用耳听，用口读。这也是为什么我认为语音很重要的原因：自己能读会说，并且读得好听、说得漂亮，自然会收获自信和愉悦，也就有了更加深入学习的动力——好的开始是成功的一半。对于希望和将要在法国学习、工作、生活的朋友来说，法语不仅仅是你们与人交流的工具，也是帮助你们了解法国文化，融入法国社会的必要条件，更是你们在异国生活的某些情况下，保护自己，捍卫自己权利的有利武器。

Dear Reader, I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune. In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast. It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket
