I
was very interested in reading this book since I have been living
with my genetical diabetes for quite some time now.
Sincerely
speaking I thought there was more to this book than what I felt was
stating the obvious. But I kept on reading...
And
yes for me it states the obvious or at least most parts although
rereading them can help refreshing parts that I might tend to forget
willingly or not (such as portion weighing).
Now
I do not want to sound arrogant in my knowledge (but being a health
practitioner does help a bit here) on second thoughts this book might not state the
obvious for those who are new to diabetes, or pre-diabetes or
whatever there is in between and akin.
And
from my experience with patients even those who have being living
with such maladies for quite a long time might not find it so
obvious.
So
what is my “verdict”:
I
would suggest this book as a life-time companion to read and reread
occasionally. A book to keep at a GP's waiting room or a
nutritionist. It is simple to read. No medical jargon. Easy to
follow. All things are taken in steps and tables come to aid.
Just
one thing to add, not all diabetes or pre-diabetes are created
equally. Each of us has her/his own story and need specific and
individual treatment.
So yes read and follow this book but first of
all listen to your body, discuss with a doctor you trust and a
nutritionist that can follow you through. And remember there are no
hard and fast rules, we change in time and so our needs.
