Simple strategies
I liked this book. Full of thought-provoking stories, the writers gently give motivational messages and simple strategies on ways to adopt healthier eating and activity habits for better health. It's nice to know there are simple things I can do to help prevent my getting diabetes.

Very verbose and non-informative
The book is supposed to give you basic knowledge about pre-diabetes, diabetes and the ways of preventing one from progressing to another.

This review is from: What You Can Do to Prevent Diabetes: Simple Changes to Improve Your Life (Paperback)
The book is supposed to give you basic knowledge about pre-diabetes, diabetes and the ways of preventing one from progressing to another. In fact, the book practically doesn't contain any medical information. All its content can be summarized as following: eat less, eat properly, exercise more and get some support from your family. Period. This simple message is evenly spread over a hundred pages or so. It is repeated innumerable times as a mantra.In addition some of information is just not up-to-date and is wrong from today's standpoint. The book recommends cutting on fats and compensating with carbs and proteins. The dominating theory today is opposite: with prediabetes you must closely watch and limit the amount of carbs you eat. If you want technical details and explanations I strongly recommend to buy "Prediabetes: What You Need to Know to Keep Diabetes Away" by Gretchen Becker instead.

Excellent book on how to prevent diabetes. It explains the change in life style that is needed and how to go about doing so. I would recommend it to anyone who was told by a doctor that he/she is a prime candidate for this disease.
