This is one of the better books I have read since getting my shock news that I am now a Type II Diabetic. I went on a book binge and got myself a fair number of books from Amazon and some of them I just wish that I didn't. Many books were over complicated for the average person trying to understand this complex and life threatening condition not to mention how many of them contradict each other in relation to what you can/can't eat on a diabetes friendly diet. Have some carbs, you need carbs, eat no carbs. What the?Enter Diabetes for Dummies. Not really for Dummies but certainly for the person who wants clearly presented information that is easy to read, understand and put into practice. The book is a complete read, extensive in it's information right from how you can expect to feel after diagnosis (like you have been given a life sentence and the grieving process often begins for many) to each medical condition that can happen because of diabetes and how to avoid anything nasty happening to you. I took away so much from this book that I put into practice straight away. It speaks to you in a friendly way and is nicely broken into specific chapters then broken down into smaller sections, you can either flick to topics of interest first or read the book through or like me read it and dip in over a few days as it's a lot to take in. It's a book I would use as a reference book for life and would lend and recommend to any friend or family wanted to understand what I am dealing with. I highly recommend this for anyone with or loving someone with diabetes type I or type II. Because of this book I am now aware of the importance of foot care for example, advice given like never to go barefoot, to wear slippers to avoid damaging a toe or standing on something that cuts or wounds your feet. I know a Podiatrist and Chiropodist are my best friends for life and I need to see them often. I need to check my feet daily for any open wounds, sores, callouses or very dry skin and see my GP or specialist if anything untoward is found. I ended up buying a special intensive foam diabetes foot cream because of this book which has worked wonder in making my feet lovely and smooth and creates a barrier for the future. Why do you need to care for your feet so much? Well to be frank, and it talks about this - if you get an infected sore or cut and it does not heal (as diabetes slows the healing process) you may end up with a foot or leg amputation. They happen. Getting your blood sugars under control is key of course to help this scenario not happen. It is shocking taking in a lot of the health crisis and dangers but balances it with the positives of eating healthy, exercising and doing what you can to start to bring blood sugars down so the risk diminishes. The chapter on medication and how it works helped me a lot too, I was going to refuse the medication offered but realised with such high readings I needed to not be silly and put myself at risk. A very well rounded book, all you need in the one book. If you only buy one book on diabetes, make it this one. Five stars from me. Thanks for reading my review!

Having no knowledge at all about type 2 diabetes and having close family members who are diabetic I thought I would read this book.Reading this book has greatly improved my knowledge of diabetes and the problems associated with it.Easy to understand and packed with information I was really impressed with this book.Highly recommended.

My husband was diagnosed about a month and a half ago. I was aware of a family history of diabetes, but I did not realize that this disease would visit us this young (we are in our mid-40s). This book was an excellent introduction to all things diabetes. The author's humor at times gets old, but if the reader can overlook that, it's a worthy read, especially for those impacted by diabetes. I bought another copy to share with one of my relatives who has diabetes. I was able to share with my children their risk and how they can prevent diabetes. Similarly I hope I am never diagnosed, and I am glad I have an arsenal of preventative know-how from reading this book.

This is an awesome up to date reference if you have diabetes - or even if you don't. With the huge increase in diabetes cases. Around the world, you can prevent or slow down systems in your self or understand what's going on when a loved one or friend is diagnosed. Reading this book helped me so much!

Really great tips of all kinds in this book. As just one example, this was the first place I've seen an explanation for how soon to exercise after eating (for blood sugar)! A must read for diabetics and pre-diabetics!

Nice introduction to diabetes. Not a book to read page by page. It has pin pointers for the newly diagnosed person to take note.

Mi se pare o carte excelenta pentru o persoana care tocmai a descoperit ca are diabet, informațiile sunt clare și concise, se explica baza științifică și mecanismele principale ale bolii și tratamentului, îmi place ca subliniază iar și iar importanta sportului și a dietei.
