5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book full of Information
Of all the books I have read since being diagnosed with diabetes this one has the best information and explains the diabetes and what can happen if you let it go. Simple and easy to read; very informative. I would highly recommend this book to those who are just diagnosed or have had diabetes for a while. This is not only for those who are diabetic, but for someone who is taking care of someone who is will also benefit from the information given here. It is well written.Managing your diabetes is a personal journey. In the book it tells you how you can get the group of professionals who can help you to maintain your health. Adding doctors as you go along as you need them. You can either read through the whole book at once or use it as a reference book. I plan on doing both. Best to start early in your journey with diabetes than letting it go and having a higher hill to climb.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Information Provided; well worth the cost!
I've had this dreaded diabetes for a long time now and this is my first time trying to educate myself about it. This book is an excellent tool and is very user friendly.
4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended glucose readings
Quite a bit of good educational information; however, nowhere in the book does it list the recommended glucose readings for first thing in the morning (after nighttime fasting), 2 hrs after a meal, 3 hours after a meal, etc. Although the book says to eat your last meal - or a bedtime snack - 10 hours before breakfast, there are no recommendations about what that snack should consist of.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the newly diagnosed
Diabetes has a large learning curve and this book breaks down all the things you need to learn into nice small chunks. I read a chapter a day so it was quite manageable. Having some knowledge under your belt can help you feel less overwhelmed and more in charge so this is a great tool. I also listened to a diabetes podcast so the information was being reinforced and if you like podcasts then try it out.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Information
It is good for basic diabetic information. I leaned a lot. It was well-written and easy to understand.
3.0 out of 5 stars A good first book, but...
Recently diagnosed and frankly knew almost nothing about type 2 diabetes. I ordered this book based on a recommendation of one of my wife's friends.Like all "dummies" books, the writing style is simple and direct. A very broad range of topics are covered and the writer maintains a positive outlook throughout.After my first read of the book, (I will no doubt read it again), I felt that it was basically a Weight-Watcher's approach (i.e. No food is denied, but portion size must be monitored).While a good primer, I felt that it falls short on specific recommendations such a a sample menu for, say, a week. That would have been very useful.
