[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anything by the American Diabetes ASsocaition is very helpful for diabetics. I have found and continue to find vast amounts of information and advice that I apply to my every day life. From food to exercise, this book covers everything. A must have for any diabetic or even someone with a loved one who is diabetic.

Again, read because of family history and wanting to know as much as I could as my mother deals with it.

Full of information and really easy to read and understand.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book to learn about diabetes. Everything from medications to exercise, to food, carbs, and lots more. Easy to understand.

[Nick Woodall · Rating 1 out of 5]

Eventhough I read this, I have come to the direct opposite of what they recommend, so I really can't recommend this book at all for diabetics.
