Book Reviews of The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)

Book Review: Best read for a newbie diabetic
Summary: 5 Stars

Written for the layperson who has been newly diagnosed with Type 2. This book has made all the difference in my attitude towards my diabetes. I believe your primary physican can actually mislead you where this book has explained what my options are and I feel great with the knowledge obtained thru reading this book. I highly recommend getting a copy if you have Type 2 diabetes.

Summary of The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)

After Gretchen Becker was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1996, she educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition — by reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors and listening to her own body. In 2001, she marshaled everything she had learned as a "patient-expert" into the first edition of this book, which she has now completely updated and revised. The First Year?—Type 2 Diabetes uniquely guides you step-by-step through your first year with diabetes, walking you through everything you need to learn and do each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and each subsequent month of the crucial first year. In clear, concise, accessible language, Becker covers a wide range of practical, medical, and lifestyle issues, beginning with coming to terms with your diagnosis and then moving on to subjects including: Choosing the diet that is best for you The role of exercise Daily blood-glucose testing routines and understanding lab tests Medications and supplements Networking with others Insurance issues Traveling and socializing
