Great praise for this book, Dec 27 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diabetes Improvement Program (Paperback)
After hunting through many diabetic books for a gift for a friend of mine, I finally chose this one. My friend called me immediately and said it was the best gift she had ever received -she had read it backwards and forwards and had even highlighted it. She said it was extremely helpful (she is dealing with her diabetes naturally after experiencing prescription side effects) and is putting it's advice and recipes to use daily.

The Diabetes Inprovement Program, Dec 3 2001
This review is from: The Diabetes Improvement Program (Paperback)
This book was a quick and easy but valuable read.
It addresses diabetes in understandable terms, explains the glycemic index, discusses nutrition (diet), excersise, and the useful addition of nutritional supplements in the diabetic diet.
It notes a group of what the author defines as 'Super Foods' which can have profound positive bearing on the diabetic status, and includes a small selection of recipes.
The book also contains a very useful section that address 25 different sweeteners; basic and comparative information I have sought after for some time - all nicely compiled in one place.
I feel the information provided in this book on nutritional supplements, sweeteners and 'Super Foods' make it a valuable resource for anyone with diabetes or anyone responsible for providing meals for diabetics.

The Diabetes Improvement Program, Jan 8 2011
This review is from: The Diabetes Improvement Program (Paperback)
This book rehashes old ideas in regards to diabetes. I was distressed to read about the high amount of carbs this writer suggests. Carbs convert to sugar very quickly and spike blood sugar. What is written here, is a culminatation of the information that I have discarded in regards to my own good management of my diabetes.
