There are dozens of "diabetes guides" on the market - so many, in fact, that it's tough to find one that really stands out in the crowd as 'recommended reading' for people living with diabetes. That's why I was so thrilled to find Janis Roszler's latest. Finally - a diabetes book with both personality and reality-based information on everything from A1c tests to travel to eating out. Reassuring for the newly diagnosed, yet full of practical, sage advice for even the most experienced patient, this book is a must-read for every person with diabetes (and those that care for them).

Janis Roszler has written a masterpiece! So much useful information. It will serve as a fantastic guide to a healthy, happy life for all inexperienced diabetics. I have beed diabetic for 61 years and yet I found much useful information in this wonderful book. All diabetics should purchase this book and keep it close at hand. A MUST for every diabetic's library.

I have her first book and it really helped me a lot and now with her second one, it is a new wonderful beginning! She is very wonderful/kind person and always there for you and her writting shows it in her books. I frequent her website and she will tell you straight up, just like her books. Excellent and knowledgable! Thanks Janis! Paula Nowicki

This book can help many who are in need of getting back on track, or trying to begin a life of health as a diabetic. Laying out information that is simple and easily understood, her book also has a step-by-step plan to help even the most timid achieve success. This author has been recently nominated as Diabetic Educator of the Year, and for very good reason. Her knowledge and compassion is constant.

The thing that sets this book apart is the way the author breaks down her program into simple, easy-to-achieve steps that makes it easier to follow. Allowing everyone to make their own simple step-by-step promises to change the way they approach diabetes control makes it a lot easier. In the end you are more likely to achieve your goals, because you are making incremental changes over time, not one drastic change that you likely won't stick with. I also liked her web site, which has lots of support; others tell what promises they have made, and what worked and didn't work.

If you are a newly diagnosed diabetic you should probably read this book. It has a lot of good info. But if you have been a diabetic for a while and been diligent to learn all you can, there's not much new info here for you. My dh and I are both diabetics and we have attended classes locally that gave us much the same info as I found in this book as well as what we have learned from various diabetic websites. However if you are looking for a book on the basics that keep and refer to from time to time you might like this one.

The book explores the various methods that may be used to treat the disease in a fairly nonjudgmental way. Some diabetes books focus on drugs while others focus on alternative methods. This book attempts to help you decide what is best for you in your individual case. The book may deserve to be in your diabetes book library.
