Has anyone read this book?
Book @ Amazon

I have the first edition and I am getting this one. I was wondering if anyone had read it and had an opinion on it.

Based on the synopsis, I'm not impressed. Sounds like he advocates an "Atkin's"-like diet. Protein is very hard on the kidneys - we diabetics have to be careful how we treat ours.

It may be worth reading, but I wouldn't count on it being a cure.

I look at it like this... This man has had diabetes for over 50 years and has done tons of research and used himself as a test subject...

He knows alot more than I do and it seems to work... thanks for the input..

Every time I go into Barnes and Noble I wander through all the "new" books. Most of them are just rehashing what was in the previous books with the author's particular slant/view on what has come before.

Remember, what works for him is just a starting place for you. You have to carefully tailor what works for other people for your circumstances.

Adopt, Adapt, and Improve.

grumpee,

Now that I've followed the link and looked at the info, yes, I've read parts of this book while browsing at B&N.

For me, it was too close to the Atkin's diet. For you, it might work. If you feel/think/believe that it's worth it, give it a try. Just remember, he constantly points out how carefully you've got to monitor all your health signs---it seemed like too much work for me. My last A1c was 5.2 and as long as I'm able to control it the way I do now, I'll stick with my path.

Like I say,though, if it appeals to you, give it a try.
