Prediabetes: A Complete Guide: Your Lifestyle Reset to Stop Prediabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses

This guide by Jill Weisenberger is both comprehensive and engaging. As a biochemist and medical editor of many years, what impressed me first, was the book's organization and style. Many guides and informative books written for patients and the lay public seem to be designed more like textbooks, than something that provides "news you can use." The style of this guide is clear and concise, and the encouragement for the reader/support member, to create achievable, short-term goals makes the Guide all the more valuable. I should also mention that Ms. Weisenberger's guide also provides an ample number of worksheets, to help the reader along and to help track progress. This is invaluable, in making goals and commitments more tangible - and achievable. The Guide is also a handy size and very readable, which makes it portable, as well. One of the hurdles, for individuals wanting to make positive changes to their lifestyle - and health - is that resource materials should be readily available. This is an excellent resource, for those who want to know more about prediabetes and how to make positive lifestyle changes.

Well into the Kindle version with a recent diagnosis of pre-diabetes, I will do whatever it takes to avoid diabetes. This book may be the answer. I appreciate the extent of valuable information, charting ideas, way to overcome habits and so much more. I skipped over parts of the book that don't apply: obesity, family meals, logic behavior, etc. The author omits inclusion of single adults, elders, people without kids or family to cook for. So I skipped over that too.

This is a book you'll enjoy reading the first time through, but don't expect it to just sit on your shelf after that! Whether you start at the beginning and work your way through step by step, or head straight to the sections addressing your greatest challenges, this book is giving you 24/7 access to advice from a top diabetes expert. -- I love the tips for becoming a savvy grocery shopper. It's not all about what you eat, though, and you'll find straight talk about sleep and physical activity. If you've set goals to get healthier before but faced disappointing results, you'll appreciate the attention the author provides to help you "get your head in the game" to face the challenge of changing habits. -- If you or someone you love is dealing with prediabetes, it's time to change the game. Let this book be the ticket to help you. I'm a registered dietitian nutritionist, and I will be highly recommending this to many people.

I'm sure this is an excellent book, I just opened it and skimmed through it. Lots of useful information and I can't wait to read it. Now that being said I'm pissed that I was charged $ 27.00 while the price on back of book is $16.95 ! Thus the 3 star rating This is not fair by any means and I think the seller is taking advantage

During a recent checkup my doctor told me I was "borderline pre-diabectic". This was concerning because I have coronary heart disease. I am a recent retiree with plans to do volunteer work and to travel, diabetes could alter those plans. So this book is "just what the doctor ordered". Jill has done an excellent job of explaining diabetes and it's effect in an easy to understand manner. She doesn't just tell you to live a healthy lifestyle, she actually lays out the steps and provides the tools and techniques to do it. This book is empowering me to take charge, reset, and reverse my doctor's diagnosis. Cathy 2.0 Heyward

Last fall I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, and began trying to educate myself about what it is and what I need to do about it. My doctor gave me some information, but I still needed more help. Thankfully, I found this book that explains things so well. In addition, it gave me strategies to use to reach my goals. I especially liked the section on specific foods for diabetes prevention, suggesting some foods that were good for me to eat, rather than just telling me what not to eat. I was able to fine-tune the changes I made in order to find something that would work for me.

I was wanting something with more about blood levels etc - I think this book assumes you are not monitoring your blood at home like I am trying to do. Very good for big picture and making life changes. I'll supplement this with a differnt approach book

very glad that I got this as it has helped me in a variety of ways! lots of tips and answered a lot of my questions...almost a year later I have implemented a lot of the techniques and habits and...my blood sugar is now under control!!!! very well written, sensible and there is an option to receive emails which I signed up for. Best advice I have received on this confusing condition - and the blood test results are proof that it works.

Found it very helpful

This is a very easy read. I found it to be straight talking and informative with lots of motivational ideas to support the newly diagnosed pre-diabetic.

Love this book, tons of important, healthy tips for prediabetes living. Highly recommend!
