This book scared me to death. Described how I had to measure my blood sugar with a kit. I was under the assumption that Type 2 diabetes could be controlled with pills. Other books confirmed this, and it is working for me. I also didn’t appreciate, the arrogant, over-the-top writing style of the author. The American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes is much better written and more informative.

If you really want to learn about diabetes, to on line. There are thousands of recipes and so much information available that this book is truly not necessary. I don’t even know where mine is.

This is a great book on teaching people how to deal with diabetes. How ever why get yourself stuck on medication when you have a chance to avoid them? Polysaccharidepeptides (PSPs) are by far a growing alternative solution to helping our bodies deal with the immune diseases, like diabetes and MS. I recommend the book “Kiss your life hello” by Howard Pieper. For more information on PSPs go to http://www.smartliving.healthywize.com

This book helps to expand one’s awareness and knowledge of the problems people can encounter when diabetes strikes. Surviving, improving one’s quality and quantity of life are reach able objectives but not realistic unless you first follow the suggestions outlined in this book.
