Editorial Review:
An estimated 41 million Americans have the condition identified since 2002 as prediabetes, which, if left unchecked, inevitably will lead to full-blown diabetes. From one of the world's leading diabetes "patient-experts," this first-ever practical guide offers fifty essential, informative ideas and simple steps to help this vast and rapidly growing constituency manage their condition and thereby reduce their chances of developing full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes clearly explains what readers can do today, no matter what their age, and whether or not they have a family history of diabetes, a severe weight problem, or are members of an ethnic group at high risk—including Hispanics, Native Americans, African Americans, and Pacific Islanders. Helpful drawings and graphs are featured throughout in this new, revised edition.

Rating:  - Not Helpful
This book is essentially useless. It is filled with silliy things like "learn to read food labels" (duh), "listen to music while you excercise", "spend some time with elderly people" (I am elderly).
Etc., etc.
If you really want to know about prediabetes and how to prevent its progression to type 2 diabetes, look elsewhere. Unless you are into touchy-feely bromides, that might made you feel good, but don't help anything. I take it back. If you don't know what food labels ... Read More
Rating: - Worthless
I bought this book after reading the definitive text on blood sugar, The New Glucose Revolution, and I almost chucked this in the trash. The author actually says "any diet" is good for preventing diabetes - low carb, or low fat, or low glycemic or anything else. All you need to do is find "one that works for you." Following that advice, many people may do themselves harm. Not all diets are the same, and someone trying to avoid diabetes needs to eat those foods that will specifically not spike their ...

Rating:  - If you're at risk, please read this!
I've been worried about developing diabetes for the past year. Last fall my fastin glucose level was a little high. It went back down when I started using my treadmill. Then I started a long daily commute, which ended the treadmill. The glucose level was back up even more.
This book has been immensely helpful. I love the guiding words "Eat less, move more" as a simple way to begin changing my lifestyle. I always tried things to extreme to lose weight and failed over time. I'm also taking her ... Read More
Rating: - Let Gretchen Becker and her book minister to your health
This book is very informative and thorough. It covers all the major topics you need to be aware of in case you are at risk of contracting diabetes type 2. If diabetes runs in your family and, you are overweight and sedentary, you seem to be at risk. The book is divided into short, easy to read chapters. Ms. Becker, besides being knowledgeable, is a gifted writer that uses humour and a no non-sense approach to present her material. I am glad that this book fell in my hands. Everybody concerned with ... Read More
Rating: - Wise investment
This book is like getting everyday tips about a person's experience so you don't get the disease. It saves the reader tons of time. The medical community does not spend enough time educating their patients. This books is the first step in solving this problem. I also highly recommend Fuhrman's Eat to Live.
