(More customer reviews)Through a perfect storm of sorts, genetics and lifestyle choices have made us Latinos second only to Native Americans in having the highest incidence of diabetes in the US. Still it is inspiring to see how far we've gone with the treatment of diabetes and with our understanding of the role of foods and exercise in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and the management of diabetes in general.
In Diabetes? No Problema Drs. Sheri Colberg and Leonel Villa-Caballero explain diabetes in a way that anyone raised in a Latino household can related to. They show a clear of understanding of Latino culture, manifested in things like the importance of family and the role that food plays in our social lives and gatherings.
The authors share anecdotes of many Latin patients with diabetes and sprinkle a healthy dose of Spanglish throughout the book, bringing balance and fun to the topics dealt with. Through very clear explanations, they also help rectify some important myths surrounding diabetes and its treatment that have become deeply rooted among Latinos.
Latinos getting diagnosed with diabetes are not faced with a death sentence but with an opportunity to incorporate fundamental changes into their lives to avoid complications resulting from diabetes and get to be as old as our abuelos. Reading this book and applying all the wisdom the authors have distilled into it will bring us one step closer to a long and healthy life.
