Type 2 Diabetes Life Plan by Carol Guber with Betsy Thorpe (Broadway Books)

We frequently receive books to review and here's one that lives up to its press releases. Here at Diabetic-Lifestyle many of our readers are coping with the newness of a diagnosis. They have many questions about how to eat, what to do when they get the flu, what and when to eat before exercising, what the various medications and insulins are, what to expect over the long run in terms of complications and how to deal with hypo- or hyperglycemia. Your answers are here in an easily readable style that is more than honest but does not overwhelm. It is a very good reference book and first step to understanding diabetes. If you know someone newly diagnosed, we think that this would be a welcome book to educate and help with all of those queries that families as well as the diabetic have. For now, the information is current, the style inviting, and the book a welcome addition to our library. Two thumbs up as those movie guys say. BSP
