A landmark title, an essential book in the history of nutrition therapy of diabetes. The best!

excellent

boring

Written for nutritionists and medical professionals by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), this book is a detailed reference for diabetes nutrition therapy. I am not a medical professional, but as a technically oriented person, I have found patient references on diabetes disappointing. This book provides an excellent summarization of the research and detailed practices for diabetes nutritional therapy. Most of the section authors carry Registered Dietician and Certified Diabetes Educator (RD and CDE) certification. Chapter topics make it easy to find the specific information that I need to deal with particular diabetes issues. Additionally, I have found the ADA's "Medical Management of Type 2 Diabetes" to be a highly useful reference.I purchased the Kindle version to add to my diabetes bookshelf that includes food nutrition reference books. The Kindle is a wonderful tool, as it allows me to carry a virtual bookshelf of diabetes information to help me be an informed participant in my care.
