Format:Paperback
To me this is one of the best popular books on any aspect of diabetes that I have read. The "case histories" of individual's achievements are nothing short of inspirational! If you are type 1, then the information on how to modify the insulin control would be vital and very difficult to assemble from other resources in my view.
Actually, I am not insulin dependent (it's presently unclear whether I am type 2 or LADA) although I probably will be very soon without the large volume of cardio exercise that I am doing. The book doesn't really go into this aspect --- i.e. using glycogen depletion to control blood sugar --- that was the only weakness from my point of view.

The book has been a great help, it is full of information and covers a great range of sports. It is a must for diabetics who take part and want to progress while maintaining good BG levels
Format:Paperback
I bought this book as I am a diabetic and work out 6 days a week.
All I can say is I wish I had known about this book a lot earlier!!!!
It is understandable and so helpful.
The different sports listings at the back and suggested tips for better control are truly fantastic.
It is not specifically aimed at Type 1's, it is for all types.
If you are a diabetic and have an interest or you participate in sports or activities it is a must read.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
