The Everything Guide to Managing and Reversing Pre-Diabetes: Your Complete Guide to Treating Pre-Diabetes Symptoms (Everything® Series)

Good guide to managing pre-diabetes. Has some recipes.

My husband is using the book and he loves it

Ok... If you know NOTHING about pre-diabetes or diabetes at all, this is the book for you. It is a lot of introductory info. Which is good. It's fairly current... 2013... some of the other books I purchased were from 2009 or later and there HAS been some new info since then. The recipes included were actually interesting. And I don't say that about many recipes. Some innovative food ideas, at least for me! Honestly, of the 3 books I purchased to learn about pre-diabetes, this one was my favorite probably because of the recipes and food organization ideas. I also think it is a good place to start if you are just beginning your research. Best wishes to all!

When my 20 year old was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in the summer we really needed a resource to get our heads around the issues. This book has been a life saver and provided us with accessible plan and recipes. I am happy to say it puts in the issues and the plan in to understandable context and actions. While we have yet to follow everything as the trauma of the diagnosis was hard for my son, we will come back to it and follow the format more comprehensively. We have used the book as a talking point and it has worked as the foundation for his program for health. I am pleased to say he has had great success and has started to reverse the diagnosis.

I think the information they have in there is good. I was just shocked to see that more than half of the book is recipes! I don't mind the recipes. I think they are important. But I would have liked more info about combating insulin resistance and less recipes. Of course, it could mean that the writers feel that the recipes (and eating) are the bulk of the fight against insulin resistance. I've been struggling with it for a few years now, and I'm frustrated beyond belief. Most books echo each other. I feel like I'm missing something major. I can't complain about the info given in this book. It's good, sound information. I just wish there was more of it.

Informative and helpful

This is an easy to read, easy to understand book detailing how people can reverse Pre-Diabetes. With millions of people in the category of Pre-Diabetes, and not knowing they are even IN that category, I would seriously love to see this book put in the hands of each one of those people. Just a few simple changes in lifestyle can make such a huge difference. All that is laid out here in a pleasant format anyone can figure out. Doctor's often don't have the time to teach their patients the importance of the changes they are asking their patients to make. Insurance companies are often not covering the cost of education, or allow as little as 1 hour of education in a lifetime of coverage!! Certified Diabetes Educators are often not available except in large medical groups or hospitals. While this wonderful book is not a substitute for face-to-face education, it is a wonderful resource!

Great book for the newly diagnosed!

Very informative.

I was recommended this book and I plan on using it in the new year. If you need to deal with high colestrol then you are going to need a guide and this book seems to have it all.

good

The author contradicts herself throughout and it is highly annoying! Also, the information is out of date by 5 years! Would not recommend.

Needed !
