Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 For those with prediabetes or those with diabetes and want info to present to your kids who will most likely have an increased chance of getting diabetes, I would like to recommend this new book just out. I ordered mine on Amazon. I plan to give to my kids to read. I think if they are prepared early they won't go thru what I did. Some of us went undiagnosed as insulin resistant for years and by not knowing anything about it developed diabetes. I can look back at symptoms or problems over the years and tests and see that it simply progressed while I was unaware. Meanwhile I had gained weight while dieting. I am just thankful there is so much more info now than years ago. The book is: Prediabetes: What You Need to Know to Keep Diabetes Away by Gretchen Becker, cost $9.72 on Amazon, currently on sale She is also the author of: The First Year, Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed I really liked this book so I am excited to see one on prediabetes. Of course it depends on the reason for diabetes, if you have acquired diabetes because of meds taken then it's probably not the same as a genetic predisposition. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Thank you! I just ordered the second book last night as in my doctor's opinion I can still reverse this. (by dieting and taking Metformin which I just started today) I will keep the second book in mind. My grand mother had diabetes and 3 strokes as a result so I sure want to prevent it if I can. Thanks for all the good information. Will be looking for Prevention too which I also quit taking due to too much advertising.
