Format:Paperback
If you are already aware of the way the some carbohydrates work more slowly than others then this book is not going to be as revelatory as the title suggests. I had hoped for something that might be really new and dynamic but this book disappointed me. There is good sound basic advice for anyone just diagnosed with diabetes but don't buy this, as I did, hoping for rocket science. It is all good, sound, sensible advice but scarcely a revolution. Try something cheaper first.

Review Written by a long time type 2 diabetic
5 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
The book deals with dieting viewed from the "Glycemic Index" point of view which in my opinion is a long overdue consideration in the management of diabetes. The book has sections for Type I Diabetics, Type II Diabetics, "Understanding Diabetes", "Managing Diabetes", "Managing Prediabetes", "Pregnancey, Birth, Breast Feeding and Diabetes", and Dietary Tables.
An example of the change of view, is the allowability of fructose in the diabetic diet. In my 1910 Encyclopedia Brittanica the article on diabetes says that fructose is a preferable sweetener to glucose or sucrose. For the last 50 years, the dietetic attitude has been to minimize any sugar in the diet, including fructose. "The New Glucose Revolution" on the other hand says, "It (fructose) stands out from the crowd (of sweeteners), being sweeter than sugar providing the same number of calories, but having only one third the GI(Glycemic Index). So you can use less fructose to achieve the same level of sweetness, and as a result, consume fewer calories and experience a much smaller rise in your blood glucose levels." This quotation demonstrates the viewpoint of this book in its balanced discussions of glycemic index, and the reduction in calories for weight control. Oddly, it vindicates some of the medicine of our Victorian ancestors as well.

Simple and useful
1 July 2008
Format:Paperback
I'm newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I bought this and another book after checking the web for diet guidlines and mostly finding "eat healthy" or "buy my pills." The most helpful parts of this book for me are
Diet - Remember serving size. A high glycemic index isn't bad if the serving size is small. This is the difference between glycemic load (what a serving will do to your blood glucose) and glycemic index (what a 'standard ammount' would do). And a little sugar is o.k. (I eat 1-2 Dove dark chocolate pieces after dinner.)
Exercise - Maximum improvement using insulin to process blood glucose with minimum perceived effort comes from walking 40 minutes every other day.
It's been 6 weeks since I started taking meds and about a month since I started following the exercise and diet suggestions. All my blood glucose readings for the last two weeks have been under 125.

A "must" read Guide for all at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes
6 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
"This is an excellent and easy to read comprehensive Guide that will help people suffering with any type of diabetes to take responsibility for and properly manage all aspects of their disease under the guidance of their health care team, by adapting a healthy diet and lifestyle with the right behavioral attitude, thereby attaining the best quality of life they can within the constraints of this potentially debilitating disease. Indeed, I believe that anyone who is diagnosed as even being at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes should conscientiously study this Book."
