5.0 out of 5 stars The most proactive diabetes book
I am a person with Type II diabetes that had been able to treate the disease with diet. My blood sugars were starting to get out of the acceptable range when I got this book. I followed the recomendations listed in the book and my blood sugars are all back to normal now. I have also lost weight with the system. All I can say is that it works for me. I have never felt...

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good chapters, but a lot of fallacious information about dietary matters and vitamins
Not until I actually got this book into my hands could I see that its subtitle read "A medical approach that can slow, stop, even cure Type 2 Diabetes". If I'd known about the subtitle, I wouldn't have been interested in reading the book, since the "medical approach" bit indicated for me that it consisted of traditional precepts penned by a doctor, and also I am not...

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical book about a very common disease, March 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
Kudos for writing a book that empahsizes exercise, nutrition, as well as some of the nutritionnal supplements that may help control this devastating disease. There are other supplements that also demonstrate promise. I have applied the principles in this book and used products with HCA, as well as other supplements, with very good success. It is refreshing to see that physicians are finally realizing that there are better ways to handle diabetics than merely flogging a diabetic who is insulin resistant with oral meds and more insulin.

As a family physician who has been involved in academic medicine for 12 years, I salute you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cut My Insulin Use By 33 Percent!! So far. . ., August 19, 2005
IF YOU GET ANY BOOK FOR DIABETES, GET THIS ONE!!!
I have had Type 2 Diabetes for over twenty-five years, I take
five Prescription Drugs, two types of Insulin to "Control" my
Diabetes. I have started the 9 Steps (five I have been doing
already) for a month and a half now. I have had measurable
results!! So far my Insulin use has dropped by 33 percent! Yes,
for the same amount of carb/time intake, what I use to have to
take 15 units for I now only use 10! I have always had a real
problem with my triglycerides, (this made by blood like pudding)
after starting the use of the hydroxycitric acid and chromium
from the book my triglycerides have dropped from a danagerous 798
to 333 so far. This again is a measurable number. All I can say
is SO FAR this book and information has been G R E A T ! ! !

4.0 out of 5 stars Fills in the blanks; decent review., April 19, 1999
This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
Nice update on diabetes, especially compared to older books on the market. I was recently diagnosed as Type 2 and this was part of a voracious education campaign. Author presents a nine point process to take charge. It worked for me, but then diet and exercise are the core of any successful diabetes management program. Main point in this book is the addition of HCA/chromium as a dietary supplement. Does it work? Don't know for sure, but my glucose went from 250 to 125 in two weeks, although I'm still on Glucophage. His case studies are positive. Main thing I got out of the book was: "The cure is better than the disease."

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book on diabetes I have ever read., March 16, 1999
By 
This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
As an adult-onset diabetic, recently, I have been interested in learning more about what supplements might be helpful. This led me to Dr. Cherewatenko's book, "The Diabetes Cure." It is the best book on diabetes which I have ever read! It is written in a very clear and concise fashion that everyone can understand. The information presented is straight forward and very logical. The author makes you feel that it is more than possible to successfully overcome the dangers of living with diabetes. I highly recommend this book to any and all diabetics who want to begin attacking their disease armed with a great ally - information and knowledge regarding important additional weapons at our disposal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got me to change my habits!! Thank You, January 28, 1999

This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
Type 2 diabetes runs in my family and over the years several relatives have passed away. Seeing my mother develop some of the early effects of type 2 diabetes has got my attention. After reading this very simple - straight forward book about the results of diabetes, and simple lifestyle changes the author recommends, I am focused on breaking the chain of diabetes in my family, starting TODAY. I began exercising 30 mins/day, purchased the doctors #1 recommended natural HCA supplement, and have already noticed a difference in circulation, energy, and eating habits. You owe it to yourself and your family to take the simple suggestions made by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensible, holistic approach to a major medical problem, January 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book, written in plain english, that has told me more about type 2 diabetes than years of going to the doctor.There is a very comprehensive, nine-point program to follow that is easy and sensible. For example, the authors recommend taking the mineral chromium, which I have been taking for years to the improvement of my disease. They also recommend taking an herb, HCA, because it increases insulin sensitivity like chromium does. I am anxious to take it and see the kind of improvement it leads to.Overall, this is an informative book that shows the reader how to take control of his or her disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, solid advice, January 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan that Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Hardcover)
As a person who fears diabetes (my father had it) it is great to find a book that gives clear, simple advice about how to avoid this terrible disease. Clearly, you don't have to have type 2 diabetes, it can be avoided and even beaten, as this book shows. I found the chapter on vitamins to be especially useful. In light of the recent findings on antioxidants and their effect on diabetes, it is especially timely. The information on diabetes drugs is helpful, too. Although they are helpful in the short run, for the most part they seem to be something you really want to avoid taking for long periods of time. Thanks for the information.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Diabetes Cure: A Natural Plan..., August 6, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Excellent. This book is easy to read and contains common sense medical advice that embraces an integrative approach to healing. Written by an M.D., even the most conservative patient can be confident that the recommendations in this book are based on long term trials and personal case studies of the author himself, and his patients. In other words, this was not written by some New Age guru or quack selling snake oils. Dr. Cherewatenko does not sell anything but does include a list of Consumer Reports' Top 8 glucometers in his book, as well as specific supplements by brand name that he recommends. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their overall health.
