Interesting Book
I must say this is not the easiest book to read but it is very interesting. The part I enjoyed most was the area that listed all the natural supplements that you could use to control your blood sugar. I ordered 2 copies; one for my mother, who has diabetes and one for myself for prevention.

Wow what a book on Diabetes a must read!
Once I picked it up I was not able to put in down, from the real story of diabetes to the approach, prevention and treatment its all there. His ability to explain the power of natural supplements such as benfotiamine (page 165) which I never heard of is unreal. I found more information about benfotiamine on benfotiamineinfo.org started using it at 300mg a week and now at 600mg and wow the neuorpathy in my feet are 10 times better!

Thank you Steven V. Joyal for writting such a great book.

diabetes
This book gave me some important info that I needed, but not as much as I wanted.Good read tho.

Exceptionally detailed book.
The prevention and treatment of this disease is within our grasp and Dr. Joyal has given us the tools to understand and conquer it.

Wonderfully Insightful and Informative
Dr Joyal hits the nail on the head in this well-detailed, unique, and insightful synopsis of the prevention and maintenance of diabetes. As someone who has many close friends with diabetes, I decided to give this book a try for nothing more than educating myself on this widespread disease. Dr Joyal has opened my eyes not only on how people with diabetes can prevent health complications but also on how to take care of myself with the correct balance of diet, exercise, and supplements in order to minimize my risk of contracting diabetes as well as other preventable diseases.

The great thing about this book is that it is not solely for people with diabetes. Anyone looking to become healthier and are just sick of hearing about these fad diets that come and go can definately benefit from reading this. We all know that by eating appropriate portions of healthy food, incorporating a structured and focused fitness regime, taking supplements, and reducing stress are all important factors in becoming healthier.Dr Joyal takes it a step further and tells you WHY these factors are important and how, when all done together and structured, are vital in disease prevention and maintenance.

As soon as I finished this book I gave it to a friend of mine with a serious case of diabetes. Since reading Dr Joyal's book and implementing his suggested methods, I have noticed a dramatic change in his attitude, energy, and overall well-being.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for better ways to control diabetes or simply for the person looking to get in better shape and has questions about vital nutrients and food preparation. ... Read more

very helpful!
I have purchased several copies of this book--for myself and others.It's informative, approachable and comforting.If you have a child who has been recently diagnosed or you know someone who does, this is the book for you.

An excellent overview
As parents of a newly diagnosed child with Type I diabetes, we were looking for a recently written, comprehensive overview of what we and our child were facing, and this book does an excellent job of providing exactly that. Covering topics ranging from how to deal with stereotypes and "helpful" comments from others about how to treat diabetes to glucose monitors, insulin choices, and technology, to dealing with issues like school, camp, and playdates, it is a very useful guide.We have a few quibbles--although overall reassuring, for example, it talks about checking a child's blood sugar every night after the child goes to sleep when the parent goes to bed and an additional several times a week in the middle of the night, which is far more often than our diabetes team suggests is needed. Even so, for parents (and grandparents--we bought extra copies for them) looking for an introduction to the world of Type I diabetes care, this is an excellent choice.

So impressed with this book!
As a parent of a newly diagnosed child, I just bought this book and I am half way through reading it.It is so informative, so easy to read and seems to contain information on every aspect of dealing with type 1 diabetes.It gives references to other books and places.My husband, who hates to read, also is reading and indicated that it is a quick read with valuable information.The author comes through as so genuine and you truly feel like you are getting help from a friend.I highly recommend this book.

Good overall book on Type 1 Diabetes
Covered every aspect of dealing with Type 1 Diabetes.
Good reference book to have in the house.

A Must Have
This book is a must-have for any caregiver of a person with Type I (Juvenile) diabetes.It includes straight-forward, no-nonsense facts that are written in everyday terms. It is obvious that the author knows from reality what she is writing about, not just from a text book.

Probably the best compliment I can make is to say that I wish I had this book when my son was diagnosed! ... Read more

At last, great-tasting healthful food -- in thirty minutes or less!

Here are recipes for one to four people for every time of day -- from Breakfast Burritos to "Power lunch" dishes to delicious dinner pastas like Mushroom Ravioli with Chunky Tomato Sauce, as well as suggestions for snacks, desserts, and beverages. Nutritional analyses and diabetic exchange information accompany each recipe. You'll also find serving suggestions, advice on what to eat when you're away from home or relying on restaurants, and a section on commonly asked questions about diabetes and nutrition.

Polin, both living with diabetes, have created, in conjunction with the Nutritional Services Staff at the world-famous Joslin Diabetes Center, a delicious array of healthful recipes that will satisfy people with diabetes or anyone in search of quick nutritious meals.Amazon.com Review

Good Ideas But Too Heavy on the Carbs
This book as a lot of diabetic detail - essential - but many of the recipes have too many carbs.I substitute where I can, though, because the recipes are great.

quick & easy???????
Lots of good recipes as advertised. BUT, quick and easy....hardly. Most of the recipes call for ingredients not in my larder and require more prep time than the every day person will invest. Good I guess if you are an accomplished chef.

Great deal
Product was advertised as used, but looked brand new.Delivery was a bit slower than other things I've ordered, but beat the deadline by a couple of days.

A Little Too complicated
Recipes were not fast and simple like some other books, but some are interesting. Info was also presented in more detail than I was looking for. If you are "studying" diabetes to learn about it and not so much about the management of it, you will like this book. I was looking for fast info easy to prepare and get husbands diet into foods he likes.

Not Just For Diabetics
I purchased this book because I was going out with a fellow who had diabetes.Funny thing was about the time the book arrived I stopped seeing him. No sense letting a good cook book go to waste!What I discovered were delicious, easy to prepare meals that are healthy.Maybe it's just a coincidence, but my waistline seems to be shrinking just a bit.

If you have a friend or family member who is diabetic they will love these wonderful meals. But even if you are not diabetic, and you just want to eat healthy meals that are economical, with minimal prep time, and taste good, try this cookbook. ... Read more

A First Book for Understanding Diabetes - COMPANION to the 11th edition of "understanding diabetes"
This book is a very condensed version of the actual "Understanding Diabetes" 11th Edition. It is little more than a detailed outline. The section on counting carbohydrates is useless. Unless you are well-versed in diabetes (i.e. diabetic educator or endocrinologist), you are wasting your money getting this book. As stated in the title, it is only a "COMPANION to the 11th Edition of 'Understanding Diabetes.' " I would not waste my money on this book, unless I was using the pages as slides for a presentation on the actual book and already had the 11th Edition book memorized.

perfect first teaching tool
I was told about this book at a Diabetes Conference and was not disappointed. It reviews thepathophisiology in simple terms. It will be perfect for teaching students and staff.

There Are 2 Pink Panther Books
This book is a classic -- loaded with helpful information.

There are 2 Pink Panther books -- this one, "The First Book for..." is a condensed version. The full version is "Understanding Diabetes." Both are awesome.

WONDERFUL EDUCATIONAL TOOL..
We use this in a hospital setting to educate children and parents. We have been using this for over 3 years. It is very easy to understand all aspects of diabetes in children. Would recommend to any family wanting to educate themselves or others around children with diabetes. ... Read more

Good reference
I bought this book as a reference for a project I was writing on diabetes. It proved to be very useful.

Excellent Book
This book covers nearly every aspect of Type 2 DM.From the initial diagnosis, pathology, available medications, and complications, this book has it all.This is an excellent resource for practitioners not only in primary care, but all medical specialties.It is easy to read and each chapter has highlights in the beginning that provide a brief summary of what each section is about.I highly recommend this book to anyone who takes care of diabetic patients.

This book has become indispensible to me
I/ve used this book for about six years on a constant basis.In fact my first copy became so ragged I purchased another. The recipes are delicious and most have become a staple in our home.I've had many other books about dibetes 2, but found this book was the one I refer to the most - not only for the wonderful recipes but Ms Hiser explains the subject so well and thoroughly. I'm living a heathier life and this book has been my main guide.

How about something written in this decade
I had intended to purchase book, until I read a couple of pages in the preview. The author states on page 1 and continues on page 2, "predict by the the year 2000 etc,etc." That was 10 years ago. I want something more current for my money.

The Other Diabetes;Living and Eating with Type 2 Diabetes
We found this book to be extremely helpful.Full of great recipes and valuable information.This copy was bought for a friend who was just told he had type 2.Would highly recommended this book.

The Other Diabetes:Living and Eating Well with Type 2 Diabetes
This is one of the most practical and informative books I've found. It is easy to understand and has useful menus and recipes for the busy life of most people with diabetes or pre diabetes. I do not believe you will be disappointed with this book. Give it a read, you'll be glad you did.

great book, even for the non-diabetic
My father has type II diabetes.I bought this book for him, but ended up reading it myself.I am not diabetic, but am at risk of developing it.This book is an interesting read, and has a wondeful meal plan and recipes.I have decided to start eating the way she describes, The Mediterranean way, just because it's a healthy way to live.It's just a bonus for me that it also helps prevent and control "the other diabetes".Get this book....it's fantastic! ...

health
I ordered this book and several others like this one to help me figure out how to control my diabetes. The books are great. The ease of the ordering was fantastic and the books came very quickly. Thanks!

Good information
I bought this book almost immediately when I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. It (along with general info from with web) got me acquainted with how I should eat with my diabetes, and made me feel more comfortable with my ability to cope with my condition.

This book contains a wealth of information on what kinds of things you can eat, as well as various tables and lists of things you can eat along with relevant data on each item in many cases.

Overall, this was an excellent book for me, and I am sure it would help others in my same situation.

Informatively Fair
Family memeber with diabetes currently came to reside within our household and not being sure of the disease we found this book a fair informative guideline to helping the family member with the control of their sugar and keep the other memebers lifes unchanged but helped us all eat healthier.

Okay, but there are probably better titles
The information in the book was okay, but the exchange lists and diet information we formatted poorly and were a little simplistic. That was the main reason I bought the book so I was a little disappointed. On the other hand, it did contain some good basic info.

An excellent resource
This book stands out from others because goes beyond just telling you WHAT to do to manage your diabetes, it also tells you the WHY.By helping you understand the reasoning behind dietary and exercise guidelines, the author gives you the knowledge you need to make intelligent decisions when presented with situations not covered by guidelines alone.She seems to understand that everything isn't always black and white in life, and you have to make choices based on many factors.

I'm newly diagnosed.Since I'm not on any medications (and hope to keep it that way for as long as possible), the two tools I have to manage my diabetes are exercise and diet.This book addresses the diet aspect very well, while touching on the importance of exercise.It's not a scientific text, so it doesn't go into excruciating detail.It's an easy read.She helps you understand how the body works without diabetes, and then explains what happens differently when you have diabetes.You'll come to understand how different foods affect your blood glucose level - and WHY.Which allows you to understand and develop your own meal plan if you don't have access to a nutritionist.If you do, you'll better understand why your nutritionist makes the recommendations she does, and you will have the knowledge to discuss various options with her.

This may not be the first thing you want to read if you've just discovered you need to live in a way that manages your blood glucose levels.There are higher level overview books; educational websites run by the Joslin Center or American Diabetes Association; or better yet, diabetes management programs taught by diabetes educators and nutritionists at most local hospital that will give you a solid foundation.Ask your doctor about local programs if he hasn't recommended it to you already.

With that knowledge under your belt, this is an excellent book to take you down to the next level of detail.

Don't waste your time
I did not find this book informative. It basically dealt with folks who, while their sugar was high, were experimenting with what to eat and how it effected their sugar.These people were not on medication.

Voice Of Reason And Hope
Whether you've just been told you have diabetes or have lived with it for years, there is something for you here. The writing style is easy to understand, and the ideas are reasonable and practical. There is a lot of good information here, and it is presented in a style that felt like I was connecting with a person, a friendly dietician who understood my confusion and frustration. The author recognizes the fact that people will need time to make changes and helps diabetics find a food plan that they can use with the whole family without agonized screams about serving cottage cheese and carrot sticks for dinner. :) I've bought other books that are either too academic or have meal suggestions that I'd never use. After using some of the ideas in this book, I was able to get my glucose levels into the normal range without too much trouble or eating food I don't like. I also lost 15 pounds to boot without really trying. :)

Not just for the newly diagnosed
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes nearly 10 years ago. And I found this book very useful and practical. Medical understanding of diabetes is always changing, and this book is a good update for me on the nutritional end.It's even helped me win a couple of arguments with a nurse who is "close" to me, but hasn't studied diabetes since nursing school! Excellent value, and I've recommended it to the nutritionist with whom I work.

No gloom and doom here!
As a recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetic, I am looking for lots of information on how to manage the disease in a healthy, positive manner.This book has really helped me.Author Leontos clearly explains the challenges in store but emphasizes positive ways to react.I particularly like her information on modifying recipes. This book is a real bargain for all the help you get!

Practical Plan for Diabetics and Overweights
This small book serves the average person whether diabetic or one whoneeds to shed pounds.It is very easy to read with many suggestions tomodify recipes.Sometimes humorous, always practical and down to earth,it's helpful to all readers.

Fabulous & helpful
The Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook has features that make it stand out as one of the very best diabetes cookbooks. First, there is an explanation and simplification of the carbo-counting necessary. The recipes follow these guidelines. Then there are two different levels of menu - 1,500 or 2,000 calorie menus.Also, recipes are marked for high-fiber, quick to prepare, etc.

All these features in addition to fabulous recipes. This is simply a great cookbook - the fact it's compatible with the diabetic diet just makes it better. Every meal I've tried so far has been delicious and tasty. They don't rely so much on "fake food" as they do on fresh taste. If you can only afford one basic Diabetes cookbook, I highly recommend this one above all others. I'm not diabetic but heard the diabetic diet is the most healthy. Now, I agree.

Cookbook for the Adventurous Cook
The scrumptious-looking cover belies the contents of this cookbook. There are very FEW recipes I would consider fixing, mainly because they contain ingredients I do not like. I have used "stickies" to mark pages that have some interesting recipes, or that I can alter to my taste. I recommend you check out cookbooks that you can visually peruse before purchasing, at your local bookstore.

Great Flavor and Easy Recipes
All of the recipes we have tried thus far have been terrific.They are simple and quick and full of flavor.

Then the individual recipes are organized into chapters of 'Healthy Starts', Muffins & Breads, Snacks & Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Vegetarian Main Dishes, Chicken & Turkey, Fish & Seafood, Side Dishes, Sauces & Condiments, Desserts & Treats. The thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes range from a Greek Potato & Feta Omelet; to a Spicy Mushroom & Rice Soup; to Grilled Rosemary-Scented Chicken; to Citrusy Couscous Salad with Olives; to a One-Bowl Chocolate Cake! Enhanced with a Glossary, a Resources list, 'Healthy Pantry Essentials', Ingredient Notes, Cooking tips, and an Index, "The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook" is an ideal addition to personal and community library cookbook collections for diabetics -- and anyone else seeking to prepare and consume nutritionally healthy, appetite satisfying, palate pleasing meals.

Lost weight and inches
I tried this diet while my teenage daughter was gone for five weeks so I wouldn't be tempted to eat outside of the plan. Loved the recipies and meals, it was easy to follow and I visibly lost stomach fat and weight. I did break it up into about five meals a day by saving part of my lunch for afternoon snack. I think it worked because I was allowed to have fats I enjoy, like avacado. I recommend it with one caution: dietes are subjective and don't work if you aren't ready, and they won't work if the diet is impossible for you to follow. I learned that the hard way.:)

Food was great but never lost a thing.Gained 2.5 lbs in 7 days so quit the program.Thanks.
