"Diabetes: Are You at Risk? (1 in 3 Adults Are)" alerts the reader that one in three Americans are currently in a pre-diabetic stage or are already victims of diabetes. Healthcare professional and successful author Lisa Morrone offers hope to the diabetic.
A helpful self-quiz with an accompanying interpretation will help the reader assess their current condition. Morrone introduces a plan for making lifestyle changes that can arrest and sometimes reverse the progress of a diabetic condition. She takes the reader step by step through a process that includes education and motivation.
She discusses guidelines which help the reader understand the role of metabolism, how lab testing aids in monitoring progress, and the how physical measurements relate to the risk of diabetes. I found this information to be valuable. I also enjoyed the interesting case studies.
Helpful diagrams and charts enable the reader to visualize ways of implementing suggested action steps. A resource list and comprehensive chapter notes provide suggestions for supplementary reading and further study.
Morrone asserts that "regular physical activity can enable you to bring your elevated sugar levels under control, which may lead to your needing less medication." An easy-to-follow realistic exercise and eating plan is included which provides both exercise and menu suggestions.
"Diabetes: Are You at Risk? (1 in 3 Adults Are)" is highly endorsed by physicians, therapists, psychologists, and other experts in the healthcare field. The book is an easy to read, user-friendly guidebook for controlling or conquering the diabetes dilemma. Lisa Morrone's action plan is designed to help you maintain a fuller more satisfying life-style.
