Its an amazing rich source for those who are living with Diabetes either type 1 or 2 and striving for better and stronger performance while exercising. Must read by people who are interested in sport nutrition, and sport educator who coach individuals with type 1 or 2 Diabetes.

Brilliant book, packed with information. I learned more about diabetes in the first few chapters of reading this, than I have done in the first few years of living with the condition. highly recommended reading it whether you're looking to build a better body or not. if you're a personal trainer this is a must.

[Michael · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very disappointing and very expensive for what you get. Constantly referring you to the authors website for more information and surprise surprise it's a membership subscription site. This book contains some bad advice, is poorly written and full of spelling and grammatical errors. Save your money and avoid.

[Gustavo Gomez, Ph.D. · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had adequate information. However, the formatting and design were mediocre.

[Wayne's · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very useful book. Good technical explanation of body processes. A little too focused on body building and not enough on general fitness.

[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very informative and accessible text on fitness and diabetes. Have yet to look at the referenced training website and resources within, but think that will provide even greater detail.
