Plan D Audiobook Summary
“Diabetes could have killed me. Instead, it saved my life.”
–Sherri Shepherd
The day that actress, comedian, and cohost of The View Sherri Shepherd was diagnosed with the Big D–type 2 diabetes–she didn’t see it coming. But she should have. Sherri had spent years battling excess weight, ignoring the warning that she was prediabetic, avoiding doctors, and denying some very clear signs that a diabetes diagnosis was imminent. Even watching the disease take her mother’s life at the age of forty-one didn’t sound the alarm for Sherri. But when D Day came, she had a diagnosis in hand and a child of her own. Sherri knew she needed to take a cold, hard look at the way she was living and make a choice: she could completely overhaul her life and reevaluate her relationship to food and exercise, or continue on a path that could leave her son growing up without his mother. The choice was easy. Putting the choice into action was a little more difficult.
If you’re one of the 100 million Americans diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes each year, or one of the 130 million people who are overweight and at risk but don’t know where to start, Plan D can provide life- changing results. Here, Sherri Shepherd breaks down the basics of the science of diabetes, explains how reversing your insulin resistance (the cause of type 2 diabetes) is the key, and offers support, humor, and the action plan you need to get results. With this medically supported plan, Sherri was able to lose forty pounds and keep it off. Through three key simple but effective strategies centered on diet, exercise, and taking control of the emotions that lead to poor food choices, Sherri offers readers a way to lose weight and control diabetes without feeling deprived, or chained to a strict, lifeless way of living. Plan D is flexible, sensible, and straight-forward, and it works wherever you are on the spectrum–whether you’re struggling to lose weight, are in the danger zone of prediabetes and looking to turn things around, or have already been diagnosed with diabetes.
Plan D will give you the facts you need to start changing your habits and your health now. With the help of her doctor, a leading endocrinologist, and a support group of family and close friends, Sherri changed her life. With Plan D, you can too.

I read the hardcover edition with a picture of a svelte Sherri Shepherd on the cover. Sherri tells her story of finally confronting the fact that she has Type 2 diabetes after years of ignoring her own prediabetes diagnosis, diabetes symptoms, and ignoring the disease which claimed the life of her middle-aged mother. There are now 100 million Americans affected by prediabetes and diabetes and the numbers keep growing. Sherri describes her plan to control the big D for all of us in easy-to-understand language with three key steps:diet, exercise, and food choices. Sherrie's story and strategies give you the motivation to change your habits today.

Teriffic book about what diabetes is and how to fight against it. Also, the book talks about how you think about food, what you choose to eat and how exercise is important to your overall health, especially if you have diabetes. The author shares her very personal story of how diabetes affected her life and how she manages to control the disease, offering readers helpful tips on what to eat and what not to ear, how to incorporate exercise into your life and how to deal with temptations you will face.

This book isn't for everyone, but as a newly diagnosed diabetic, reading this felt like sitting with an old friend and discussing options. Nothing she says if groundbreaking, but reading it could change your life around.

Even if you don't have diabetes this is a wonderful "diet" book. She's normal. She eats the way normal people it. She has the same eating problems as normal people. No recipes just regular foods. After reading it you think if she can do it so can I.

This was a funny and realistic point of view on diabetes and how it can affect your life and how to live with it. I think this is a good read for anyone who has diabetes run in their family, are prediabetic or just found out they are diabetic (or have known but are now taking it serious).
