A Good Guide
The Best Life Guide to Managing Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes is a terrific book I wish I'd had 15 years ago, before I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I might not have wound up with the disease if I'd had this information in the Pre-Diabetic stage. I recommend every Type II Diabetic buy and read this book.

Easy to read, with practical plan to be followed.
I've entered into the pre-diabetic range for the last two years, and I've managed my diet and exercise to avoid getting into diabetes. Besides getting the routine semi-annual lab blood testing, I also purchase the do-it-yourself glucose tester to monitor my blood sugar on monthly basis.

Over the past two years, I read some books about diabetes. Comparing with other books that I read, this book offers a useful, sensible approach to deal with this problem. The strategies outlined here are workable and the information is well presented. The author understands that no one can make every needed changes all at once, so he encourages readers to takes steps in several phases. Also, the various meal plan examples in this book are reasonable....while meal plans on some other books tend to be out of ordinary of what most people will regularly make and eat....their meal plans are either too fancy for everyday meals, or expensive for everyday meals.

In summary, this is a book worth reading and keeping.

Solid, practical information well presented
I am prediabetic and am struggling to turn things around. This book offers a useful, sensible approach to dealing with this problem. I learned more about understanding my blood glucose tests than I did working with a diabetes educator. The recipes are nice. The suggestions for becoming more active are gently approached for those struggling with exercise. I read many diet and nutrition books -- this is one I will keep and refer to many times.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
