5.0 out of 5 stars Very simple explanations & guidelines for standards of care, May 12, 2005
This review is from: Type 2 Diabetes for Beginners (Paperback)
Phyllis Barrier has over 25 years experience as a nutritionist and diabetes educator: her background lends to Type 2 Diabetes For Beginners: an especially important guide considering that most Type 2 diabetics receive the news later in life, long after habits are established. From meal planning and pre-diabetes diagnosis and indicators to blood sugar monitoring and weight loss, chapters provide very simple explanations and guidelines for standards of care. The simple approach allows the newly diagnosed to readily understand the myriad of concerns affecting the diabetic: Type 2 Diabetes For Beginners should thus be the first self-help handbook given to the new diabetic upon diagnosis.

3.0 out of 5 stars New to Diabetes, January 23, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Type 2 Diabetes for Beginners (Paperback)
This book is very basic, for someone who knows nothing about diabetes. Very easy to understand. However, I didn't learn anything that wasn't on the web page for the American Diabetes Association. I still had to seek out more resources to answer my questions.
