Managing Type 2 Diabetes For Dummies

Exactly as advertised and arrived in a timely fashion

Bought for some else

This book has a lot of information for the newbie to diabetes. It covers insulin diet, and gives pointers for doctors visits. It contains a lot of information, but the type is so small. I had trouble reading it. My solution was to buy this book in Kindle form. I can adjust the size of the print and highlighting and book barking are easy. I gave it four stars because it’s a good book but in retrospect I wish I had only bought this book in Kindle format. That is my rook recommendation in Kindle form.

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.

Friend recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, was feeling overwhelmed. found this book very helpful in increasing knowledge and excluding inaccurate information from others

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.

It is good for basic diabetic information. I leaned a lot. It was well-written and easy to understand.

Recently Dx with diabetes. The book is very helpful and informative.
