Managing Type 2 Diabetes For Dummies Paperback – February 13, 2018

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.

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.

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.

Exactly as advertised and arrived in a timely fashion

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.

Bought for some else

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