Since I have read all of the other books by Melissa Diane Smith I decided that I should add this to my collection.
I found the guide to be exceptionally well done and user friendly. Every person with Diabetes and/or obesity, hypertension or other illness that may pose increased health risks should buy and read this guide.
I have been in the health care field for many years and I have read numerous articles and books and I have found this guide to be one of the best examples of clear-cut, concise information that a patient could readily absorb and gain valuable insight to improve their overall well being.
Thank you Melissa for yet another fine piece of educational material!

This is a great book for someone wanting to learn about diabetes. I was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and this book help take the anxiety from the shocking news and replaced it with facts and many "how to's" and options to improve the situation. If you want to help a loved one who has diabetes - this would be a great guide to assist you. A must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sound advice, July 26, 2007

By	M. Embry - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a book for the layman because the text is understandable and the information is useful. It doesn't go into depth but does provide a good overview about preventing diabetes. Research indicates that a person can't reverse diabetes but he/she can take preventive steps to change the course toward diabetes or lessen the effects once diabetes has developed.
