Not your usual diabetes book
Great book and grammar has been mostly corrected.
To me, the messages and data are more important than grammar.
This doctor is not selling you a pill or a diet or a "program". He is providing clear, understandable science backed information on how you can give yourself a longer healthier life of you have insulin resistance.
