Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an accessible book for anyone wanting to find out more about diabetes. This includes type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics, the pre-diabetic, those worried that they might have diabetes, and the simply curious.
The book is written throughout in the "popular science" style which makes it easy to read but it is well researched and referenced. There is more science than I was expecting at the beginning of the book, but this is really about explaining with high blood sugar is doing to your body. It's easy enough to skip over these sections but I'd recommend you not to. To the reviewer who criticised the book on the grounds that he just wanted to be told what to eat, the answer is, eat a low carbohydrate diet. That means, no sugar, no white bread, no coffee. Good chocolate is okay though. Patrick Holford has a book on that, as well as a nice cookbook.
If you are a type 1 diabetic, I'd suggest you also read Richard Bernstein's Diabetes Solution which contains a lot of practical information for caring for diabetes, as well as more detailed science.
Both books advocate a low carbohydrate diet as the means to normalising blood sugars. It's scandalous that the medical establishment still does not do the same.
The book is probably a little longer than it needs to be, but nevertheless I'm giving it 5 stars for presenting a complex subject in an accessible way.

Format:Kindle Edition
This book helped me change the downward direction in which I was going. Having Type 2 diabetes, my insulin use was gradually creeping upwards. At Christmas I was using 95 units a day. I started following the advice in the book and within a few days I was reducing the amount of insulin I needed to inject. I am currently down to 60 units 2 months later. I have not been as strict as the book recommends but have lost almost a stone. I am eating less food and taking more exercise, walking and doing resistance exercises. I think eating the smaller meals with healthy snacks in between stops the great hunger pangs which lead to overeating. I need to lose much more weight but I keep going back to the book to check my eating habits and keep going in the right direction. If I don't, I risk blindness or a leg amputation. Not much of a choice really.

Everybody diagnosed with type two diabetes or just raised sugar levels - especially those with impaired glucose tolerance (and heading towards diabetes) - should be given a copy of this book. It would be cheaper than drugs and be better for their health. Buy a copy, read it - its an easy read - and do it!

Get to the point
I'm sure this is a most worthwhile book but it's written more as a thesis for a H. Dip rather than for people like me who want good, sound advice. Read more
