Take Control of Your Diabetes Risk

This book was excellent and really helped me understand the disease and what I need to be doing about it. The author includes a 4 week meal plan with grocery lists and recipes as well as a 4 week exercise plan.This book should be given to every person who gets a diagnosis of diabetes.

Just started reading, but the beginning of this book gives hope and is written easy to understand.

John is a very skilled writer and is fairly unique in the medical world with his no nonsense easy to read and remember prose. No Medical Jargon-- just facts and important common sense suggestions about how to manage diabetes and better yet avoid it entirely!Roughly 40% of American adults are grossly overweight or Obese. Every one of them should grab a copy of this book. They can follow simple easy to do steps to prevent or successfully manage diabetes.John also covers the myths and gives the facts-- in fact the front and back cover have 8 facts everyone should know to reduce their risk of this non curable disease. Yes, COVID 19 was a terrible Pandemic and will still be around in some form for years to come-- but it pales in comparison to the millions of folks who have diabetes and millions more who will contract it if they dont read this book!

Imagine if the Chief Medical Office of WebMD was your physician, and he was speaking directly to you. That is the experience of this book. It provides a detailed analysis of diabetes in a way that comes across as relatable and educational. More importantly, it provides actionable insights that every diabetic or prediabetic patient can implement in their daily lives.While I enjoyed the entire book, I found Chapter 7 to be exceptionally important. In that chapter, he discusses the distress of being diagnosed with diabetes, and the ongoing struggles in managing the disease. Far too often we focus on our glucose readings and HbA1c levels. This chapter highlights the human aspects of diabetes, which may be more important to patients dealing with the disease.A great read for any one interested in learning more about diabetes and optimizing their life to minimize the effects of it.

Diabetes is a very real concern in my family and it has been embedded in my father's head that there is nothing that can do about it WHEN it happens. This is the book that I gave to my father to read and him to read it, and undue years of false beliefs. Dr. Whytes' writing style is easy to read and actionable with examples and recipes of how to approach a struggle for many American adults. If you have a family member whom you want to live a healthier lifestyle and need some support other than your words, I HIGHLY recommend this book. Kudos Dr. Whyte!

Great book. Very good information

Control diabetes.

Dr Whyte explains in simple terms exactly what you need to do if you are diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes. He acknowledges that some people need medications but many others could delay medication or come off with simple yet powerful behavior change. The meal and exercise plans are a great addition that too many books lack.
