This book didn’t give enough information, and it was very misleading.
Look for Dr. McDougall’s books on Amazon. Or, if you google Dr. McDougall, you can go to his website and see what he has to say about diabetes. Numerous studies show about 75 percent of type 2 diabetes is completely curable – within 10 days – by changing your diet. Period. You can come off all medication and insulin. He gives the information you need, completely free, on his website. Use his method, and you’ll soon see your blood sugars return to normal . . . but then the various companies that make a fortune off diabetes will be suffer a little.
Another thing about this dummies book: It’s chock-full of ads. The author heavily peppers his writing with all sorts of product endorsements and gets kickbacks for them.
You might want to read Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs’s Program for Reversing Diabetes before you jump to conclusions. He is president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (a nonprofit organization with a lot of highly respected members. ) He has a lot of respectable physicians endorsing his work. I encourage anyone reading this to search for his book on Amazon. You’ll find it doesn’t have any ads and no kickbacks from the big drug companies like the “Dummies” books.

A little information about diabetes, OK for someone just involved with diabetes.
Rating: 3 / 5
I was looking for information specific to type 2 diabetes this was okay but very general. Not really very helpful.
Rating: 2 / 5
Let the title of this book guide you. I found the book to be frustrating. It is a collection of fragments of helpful hints. There are better organized books available. Originally the book was quite expensive. I’m glad to see they lowered the price. From a publisher that is the “expert” on everything from gardening to car repair, you can do better for diabetes management.

This was quite informative but not the clearest book on diabetes. If you’re only going to buy one book I recommend “The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle. ” Best of luck to you in your quest for health.
