The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (1569242658)

Editorial Review:

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

highly recommended:

great book for the newly diagnosed diabetic. gives much detailed information in clear, concise everyday language. goes through the 1st day of diagnosis through the whole first year.

everything you need to know:

i am so grateful for this book. it provides all the practical information the newly diagnosed need, and answers all the questions that you forgot to ask the doctor or thought were too mundane to ask. thank you to the author for providing this invaluable resource.

great reference:

I purchased the book for my husband to read. It answered many of his questions and provided talking points to take to the doctor for his next appointment. I've purchased many books on the subject, but this has been the best to date.

Excellent resource for one having diabetes:

Excellent book for the newly diagnosed or anyone who has diabetes. So much good information in terms easily understood by the average reader. I was so impressed with this book I bought one for a friend who has had diabetes for many years and one for my sister, who was diagnosed almost four years ago. Definitely worth the money. The seller was excellent. Books arrived in timely manner, wrapped securely, and in new condition.
