Diabetes Books

I grew up in a southern country home where Sweet things where a part of every meal. Probably why I am diabetic. JoAnna Lund won me over with her book," Cooking Healthy With A Man In Mind" where I found her "Banana Split Pie." This is a wonderful and satisfying dessert. Her "Healthy Exchanges Diabetic Dessert Cookbook" is a must for diabetics. These desserts are satisfying and a delight to prepare. Ms. Lund is a master at simplifying cooking using products you normally find in the cupboard and around the kitchen. I am a big fan of her style of cooking. I recommend all diabetics consider this book.

Great book for anyone who wants a book comfort food cookbook with all the taste but without all the fat and sugar this is for you. I am a diabetic of 10 years and this is the first book that works for me and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I ran it by my doctor and dietician and got the thumbs up. I've given this book to two people already as gifts and they love it.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in any aspect of HIV laboratory protocol. By far the best book on the market! Makes a wonderful reference for any lab. Highly recommended!

A seminal contribution to alternative medicine reference collections and supplemental reading lists, "How I Conquered Diabetes" by Bruce Gould is an extensive exploration of the impairing and damaging horrors of diabetes, and how one man was quick to rid himself of its control. Introducing readers to his own medical history and situation, Bruce Gould wrote "How I Conquered Diabetes" in order to educate others dealing with this all to common malady on his own immediate action and initiative for combating diabetes without insulin treatments or prescription drugs. A vivid account of Gould's personal struggle and an indispensable aide for those with diabetes (particularly type two diabetes), "How I Conquered Diabetes" is very strongly recommended, especially for non-specialist general readers who have (or know anyone with) diabetes and looking for viable treatment alternatives to insulin and prescription medication.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to understand. It included the latest DCCT test results as well as the basic information I needed to keep myself healthy. It motivated me to ask my doctor the right questions and also to lose weight (35 lbs. so far). 90% of this disease is in your control! Don't expect the doctor, nurses etc. to take the responsibility. They will take you more seriously if you take the iniitiative to read this book and learn your options. There are many!

A wonderful book based on the best of science on total diabetes care. The book, covering depth and breadth of diabetes, reveals innovative methods of preventing and controlling diabetes and all its critical complications. A book useful both for the lay people as well as the primary health care providers.

I found this book at a time when my body was completely out of whack, after experiencing strange symptoms my entire life. This book did nothing less than change my life. Avoiding sugar and eating to maintain blood sugar can completely improve the quality of one's life, from their body and mind, to their sense of self and their relationships.

This book is, as I said, simple and brilliant, and makes it very easy for any newly diagnosed hypoglycemic to understand how, when, and what to eat to get their physical and mental symptoms under control. The author has been through the ups and downs of a low blood sugar disorder herself, and has dedicated her life and career to helping others with this often-misunderstood disorder. I even tracked her down and e-mailed her, and spoke with her over the phone-she is a kind, understanding, wise woman.

I cannot say enough about this book, or about the very likely possibility that there is an epidemic of hypoglycemia running rampant in this country today. Sugar is an unnecessary and obscenely over-consumed substance in the American diet, and a lot of people just don't understand how detrimental it can to to one's health-especially to people with sensitive systems. One can only wonder how many children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD would benefit from a nutritional approach, by staying away from refined carbohydrates, and by eating quality proteins and complex carbohydrates. I wonder how many people with mood disorders, depression and anxiety are really struggling with undiagnosed blood sugar swings. The link between diet, sugar and behavior is not new or radical-there is plenty of literature on it. In the documentary "Super Size Me", Morgan Spurlock reported on a school for juveniles with behavioral problems who improved dramatically when put on a healthy diet with no refined carbohydrates. Dr. Yvonne Sanders, an elementary school principal from Georgia, has written a book titled "Healthy Kids, Smart Kids". She does not allow sugar or refined carbohydrates in her school, and has seen improvement in attendance rates, behavior, and science and math scores, as well as a decrease in visits to the school nurse.

If you have kids, or really want to know what it means to eat well, do yourself a favor and buy this book. If you feel like something is off with your body-if you experience depression, anxiety, and constant physical and mental symptoms, but your doctor tells you that you are fine, that nothing is wrong, and that it is 'all in your head', or that you have a 'chemical imbalance' and need to take pills that you are kind of scared to take, I strongly recommend that you order a used copy of this book and take a look at it-it will quite likely be the best decision you have ever made when it comes to taking responsibility for your health. Nutrition is such an important factor when it comes to good health, and it is really scary how much sugar and junk disguised as food are being consumed.

I have a personal investment in this subject matter. I have likely had this disorder my entire life, but I did not even hear of it until a couple of years ago. This disorder can be easily maintained through good nutrition and exercise, and it can easily turn one's life upside down if ignored. Sugar, like many things, can seem pretty benign, but for certain people, can be utterly devastating to their health.

This book is amazing, and think it should be required reading for doctors, nurses, parents, educators, counselors, and all professionals who deal with wellness and health. But, most of all, I would like for this book to land in the hands of people who want to take control of their lives and their health. I also believe that this very real nutritional disorder should be addressed with the seriousness it deserves, so that the entire population has the opportunity to be as healthy as they are willing to commit themselves to be.

This book is great for children and parents. There are lots of pictures, large print, and a quiz at the end of each section. This book will encourage your child to take an active role in his/her treatment.

A candid account of one man's victory over diabetes. I especially liked how the author injected humor into his autobiography -- "Needles" and "Sticks" have been given a colorful new meaning to those of us with the disorder.

I read Interference and loved it. I liked Josh because he never gave up even that he was haveing a very hard time. I liked when he got sick and every one started to like him. he keep it a secret and this is my favarit book i have ever read
