• Three Cheers For 'prediabetes For Dummies'!
01 January, 2010
This For Dummies edition, like other For Dummies books, is plainly written and clearly presented. The prediabetic reader begins to understand diabetes and what indications to watch for. It thoroughly discusses foods beneficial as well as those harmful, and offers hope and assurance that if one controls weight and diet, and exercises, there is light at the end of the tunnel and diabetes does not have to happen. That is, as long as a person remains vigilant in these areas. So, those considered obese or couch potatoes, beware!

• Books By Dr. Rubin
21 January, 2010
Dr.Rubin has done it again. In diabetes for Dummies he taught us how to manage the most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. In diabetes Cookbook for Dummies he showed us we could eat great food despite having diabetes. In Type 1 Diabetes for Dummies he explained the form of diabetes that usually begins in childhood. Now he tells us how to avoid diabetes altogether. Nothing appears to be left out. He explains how to identify prediabetes. He tells us how to eat and exercise to prevent or reverse the condition. He explains the consequences if we permit prediabetes to develop into diabetes. Despite the seriousness of the topic, Dr. Rubin manages to keep it light as he has done in all his other books. It is highly unlikely that you will find a better book on this subject.
