Excellent

This is one of the best books on diabetes I have read. Becker is straightforward and explains the disease quite bluntly. It has helped me motivate myself to control my blood sugar and diet. After reading her book I have dropped my BG 90+pts

Excellent book

This book is one of the first that I read after being diagnosed with Diabetes. It provides a wealth of information and also indepth information so you really feel like you understand and do not have a cursory knowledge. I love the author's suggestion that you must be in charge of your health care. It is empowering and she tells you the tests that your doctor may not do that you should request and what information they provide. She teaches you how to test your own body's reaction to different foods.

I highly recommend this book.

LEARNING ABOUT TYPE 2 DIABETIES

This book has answered so many questions I had and answers for questions I didn't have. Greatest book I bought for learning about how to take care of myself and why I feel the way I do. Why I am hungry all the time. Why I crave sweets. Why I feel tired all the time and more. Great buy. You won't be dissappointed.

Very Informative overview on Type 2 Diabetes

After reviewing several books on diabetes, this was one of the first books I read after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes over one year ago. Nearly 3 weeks had passed before I was scheduled to see the dietitian and receive a glucose meter. The author/patient was very informative and straight forward on what to expect. This book helped me to start changing my habits immediately and I was well informed before I had my first appointment. I have gained much more knowledge in my own research than what I received in a couple of appointments with medical professionals. It is definitely up to the individual to take control of this disease. I encourage you to seek information from sources that have had proven success managing diabetes. I have had great results in dropping my A1c as long as I keep starchy carbohydrates and sweets to the minimum recommended by the dietitian.

Diagnosed with type-2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes in 1996, Gretchen Becker educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition by reading medical books, talking with doctors, listening to her own body and using the Internet to communicate daily with other people with diabetes. Now, as a patient-expert, she guides all those newly diagnosed through everything they need to learn and do in the crucial first year after diagnosis. This indispensable guide simplifies but never patronises and offers a wider approach than any so far adhered to by doctors. It answers all the questions that assail the newly diagnosed: How to cope with daily maintenance? How to make sense of the terminology about measurement of blood-glucose levels? How to build self-knowledge and confidence? How, overall, best to adjust to life with diabetes.
