Managing Type 2 Diabetes For Dummies

This is an excellent book for learning the details of Type 2 diabetes. It is easy to follow and gives a ton of valuable information I have not heard at any of my physician's appointments

Excellent book to help persons to manage there health. Every newly diagnosed person should have one of these for reference and questions they may have to help them care better for themselves or a loved one with this health issue. Very thorough. Thanks 😊!

Informative book.

I must say this an older book, but it is packed with information. It is written by the ADA and they did quite a thorough job covering many bases regarding diabetes. I would highly recommend it.

Of all the books I have read since being diagnosed with diabetes this one has the best information and explains the diabetes and what can happen if you let it go. Simple and easy to read; very informative. I would highly recommend this book to those who are just diagnosed or have had diabetes for a while. This is not only for those who are diabetic, but for someone who is taking care of someone who is will also benefit from the information given here. It is well written. Managing your diabetes is a personal journey. In the book it tells you how you can get the group of professionals who can help you to maintain your health. Adding doctors as you go along as you need them. You can either read through the whole book at once or use it as a reference book. I plan on doing both. Best to start early in your journey with diabetes than letting it go and having a higher hill to climb.

Recently diagnosed and frankly knew almost nothing about type 2 diabetes. I ordered this book based on a recommendation of one of my wife's friends. Like all "dummies" books, the writing style is simple and direct. A very broad range of topics are covered and the writer maintains a positive outlook throughout. After my first read of the book, (I will no doubt read it again), I felt that it was basically a Weight-Watcher's approach (i.e. No food is denied, but portion size must be monitored). While a good primer, I felt that it falls short on specific recommendations such a a sample menu for, say, a week. That would have been very useful.

Wonderful helpful book, being new to the diabetes stage 2 I need help and found slot of helpful infornation

Diabetes has a large learning curve and this book breaks down all the things you need to learn into nice small chunks. I read a chapter a day so it was quite manageable. Having some knowledge under your belt can help you feel less overwhelmed and more in charge so this is a great tool. I also listened to a diabetes podcast so the information was being reinforced and if you like podcasts then try it out.

All good

A great book . I read some of it everyday and keep learning something new

Very good guide to type 2 diabetes

Very informative

A good book for info. My only complaint is a good portion of the book is about how to navigate your health insurance plans with this disease. As a canadian this is not something that concerned me . Still a good book.
