Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a 57-year-old man who has been struggling with Type 2 Diabetes for 21 years, I found this book helpful despite already being well read in this subject. Although I've had years of diabetes education, there were some good nuggets here about food, and useful, anecdotal patient success stories about the specific foods they eat and when they eat them.
My only complaint is that Dr. Peters needs to include one more chapter to deal with insulin injections, for those, like me, who have never used insulin before but who may need to do so in the future. And within that missing chapter, she needs to talk about the risk of gaining weight on insulin even with reduced calorie intake, which has happened to many acquaintences. Perhaps these people are doing something wrong, but Dr. Peters doesn't address this frequent and serious concern.
Still, for anyone who needs a lot of information about dealing with diabetes up front, this is as close as it gets to a one-stop shop.
