Never received my order.
I have not received this book yet. I also have not received several CD's I had ordered. Where are they? The only CD I've received so far is Susan Boyle's new CD. Please track my orders.

Very Informative
This book is one of the most informative books I've ever read on diabetes.Very informative and definitely recommend.

Great Diabetic Resource
Best book I've ever seen for Diabetes info.I've been an RN for 30 years, but this book taught me some important new things.You need this book, if you have a family history of Diabetes !

Great Information!
I picked up this book per the recommendation of a nurse who works for the wellness division of my health insurance company. She was quite correct in this book tells you everything you need know about the causes and treatment of Diabetes.After reading the book, I had a much better understanding of what was happening in my body and my stress level went down considerably.

Very easy to read and informative
I found, having prediabetes myself, the book to be very informative. After being diagnosed with prediabetes I was told to no longer eat sugar. No information was given to me about diabetes and how to avoid getting it. This book explained all of that to me. When you have prediabetes you have the opportunity to reverse it if you acquire the right information and follow it. Had I not found this book I would probably have diabetes today. This book teaches you how to choose the proper treatments, how to check your sugar levels and when, what tests are needed to aid you in your journey, what complications can arise due to low and high sugar levels and how to notice them and treat them, what food to eat, how much exercise you need, and just about everything in between. Whether your looking for information to aid you in helping your diabetes or to prevent you from becoming a diabetic this book is for you! ... Read more

Great book with a lot of versatile ideas
I have only cooked one recipe from this book so far (Egg in a cereal nest, really neat recipe!), but I have dog-eared a ton of others to try.My son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes three weeks ago, and we are working on carb counting along with his insulin to keep him healthy.This book offers recipes with standard ingredients, real sugar (though it does contain a section on calculations for carbs if you choose to use a sugar substitute), and things that most kids would eat.

I wish there were more snacks in the cookbook, and more to cater to the younger crowd.My son is 4 and isn't all that interested in meat and spicy food at this point.However, who knows where he'll be in a couple of years?I think this cookbook will come in handy in the years to come.

My son was so excited to see these books
My 12 year old son was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.He thought there would be nothing that he liked that he could eat.This book has been a great help and he enjoys alot of the recipes.He is such a picky eater but with this book it makes food interesting for the whole family to enjoy. ...

incomplete information
This book is incomplete in that it only lists ready made food from a small section of the country, and does not give a comprehensive food listing.It does a good job for what it does though.

Best resource for any diet!!
This is a fabulous book!! I highly recommend it for anyone trying to improve their eating habits, lose weight or control their carb intake.
Do yourself a favor and buy this book!!

carbs, fats,and proteinguide
Great little book for checking carbs, fats, protein content of food, including fast foods and restaurants!

Diabetics Carbohydrates and Fat Gram Review
I think this is one of the most comprehensive books I have found that helps with every item people are interested in when tyring to count carbs, fiber, calories, fat and much more.It is laid out very nicely so you can find almost any item quickly.I have my own book and bought a second one for my daughter.I have several of these kind of books on my shelf but this is the one I use every time.

Good Diet Counter
This book has pretty much everything you need diet-wise, giving you calories, fat, sodium, exchanges, etc. It also included protein, which was something I needed to keep track of as a pre-weight loss surgery patient, so that was most helpful. I wish it covered a few more foods-it always seems like I need the information on the one thing that's not there.
But overall it's a solid guide. ... Read more

Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine
This is not the same book that was advertised, little if anything is mentioned about using natural medicines.
the titles are of the books are similar, the copy I received is "How to Prevent, treat and self-manage Diabetes and related complications (2nd edition), by M. K. Ansari.

I don't know if they are one and the same book, if so I am very disappointed, would not recomend this book for those looking for natural options.

Learned more about the human body than just diabetes
Excellent book.It tells about the causes of biabetes, not just the symptoms.All medications only treat the symptoms, this book treats the cause so that you are not on meds for life.

What to do when your Dr just gives you more drugs
I first found this book in my local library, after my Dr sent me to a specialist, and HE just started giving me more drugs for my diabetes.He also said he didn't know of any literature on the subject of diabetes, other than the grade-school-simple brochures that pharma puts out.

This book is a roadmap of how to strengthen your body and reduce the influence of diabetes, ALL WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.It is based on medical studies, biochemistry, not wishful thinking.I have not felt this good in years.

A lifestyle changer
This book has changed my life. I am now acutely aware of what and how I am eating and how I am conducting my life to stay healthy and avoid escalating my pre-diabetic condition to type II diabetes. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make a change to a healthy lifestyle regardless of whether diabetes is a problem or not.

I have not seen the book!
It is very strange that I have been asked to review a book that has not arrived.Can someone please find out where my book went? ... Read more

a little outdated
but if your child can not read you can improvise on the whole not eating candy/cake thing-cause it is a fact that sometimes our children can't if we are already battling high blood sugars that day.The brick of a meter was accurate in the hospital part because unfortunately hospitals still use those things.As for a previous review about death, yes some people in my family were scared my child would die.They will have to deal with those feelings and will have some idiots say that to them in the future.Great book for children who do not remember what happened because they were diagnosed very young.

Simply Outdated
I'd like to give this book zero stars - but Amazon made me choose 1. This book is simply outdated. It falsely clames that the child with diabetes can not have birthday cake and must eat an apple while their peers are enjoying cake! Hogwash!! In this age of home glucose meters, better faster insulin, and insulin pumps it is simply not true. All this book does is continue the false beliefs that are out there that make kids with diabetes feel bad about their condition and make them feel different than their peers.

I took a shapie to my copy and updated the offending pages and altered the text to assert that like any child, a child with diabetes should eat healty - but they can also have treats just like their friends.

But still this book is at the back of our bookshelf and is very rarely read.

Even Little Kids Get Diabetes
This is a very nice book for smaller children. I enjoyed reading this to my 2 year old. There are a few things that have changed since it was published in 1991. Children can now have some candy, ice cream and cake on special occasions and if it's sugar free or low on carbs.But overall this book was a nice way to introduce my child to the understanding that he is not alone and that there are other children who get diabetes.

DFM review
We've purchased this book as part of an information package that we give to children who are newly diagnosed. Some of the issues are clearly outdated (for example, the child with DM having to eat the cake without icing whereas now we know that, using carbohydrate counting, this is not necessarily the case). There are positive aspects to the book-reinforcement that there are "special things" that you have to do to stay healthy-blood glucose checks, insulin injections etc... but above all, "you're (still)a regular kid." The book also touches on parental grief/anger at the disease, sibling jealousy, a child's perspective that diabetes means you'll "die" becauseof the first syllable of the word, "diabetes." In the eyes of our office staff, the positive aspects of this book outweigh the negative or "outdated" material.Maybe a revised edition or sequel could have info on the insulin pump!

Very helpful
My daughter now age 3, absolutely loves this book. She treasures it more than any others. It's true that it does have some outdated material such as not being able to eat certain things, but for her that worked out fine for me anyway because of her multiple food allergies so shes' still limited on what she can have even if it's not because of her diabetes. ...

Mt Diabetes Organizer Review
Wow!This rganizer contains a place for every detail of your diabetes care.Very well organized and well written.It contains information everyone with Type 2 diabetes should know.I am more than pleased.

Great but one problem
This is great for helping you learn how to take care of your diabetes.The only draw back on this is that once you use up all the forms and information is documented, you cannot add to this book.Once used its not useful anymore.There's no way to add sheets for continuing your care.It will just be good to read after that.So I'm glad I have it to help me learn but I will have to find another way of keeping track.

Making Diabetes Easier
This is the book I have been trying to make for myself out a notebook. It is very easy to use and is even a boone for the Dr. to see how you Diabetes is doing. This can go to the Dr. with you, and answer all those "I don't know" questions.
Easy to fill in, and take with me on travels in case of emergency. ... Read more

Wonderful book!
This is one of the books that the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi givesto newly diagnosed children and their families as part of our We Care 2/Diabetes 101 care packages. It is upbeat, kid friendly and is perfect to bring to school to educate classmates on the basics of diabetes! We are fortunate to have the video too-it's a great film to show elementary school children to increase their understanding of their classmate's diagnosis or to teach them about diabetes in general.

Simplified Help fo New Patients and Parents
A great help for those new to diabetes.
Maes everyhing easy to understand.

Not Just for Kids
I am an R.N. in an acute care hospital and this is the best book I have found for newly diagnosed diabetics.It's simple, but not childish.It gives all the pertinent information for a diabetic to get off to a good start without overloading them with a lot of medical jargon and technicalinformation.It's officially recommended for pre-teens, but I find itbeneficial for even adults.When they are ready to learn more, then theycan move up to a more advanced book. ...
