Diabetes Books

[Clint]

Has anyone read this book?
Book @ Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0316099066/qid=1075300192/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-1014540-8267857?v=glance&s=books)

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.:)
