I was diagnosed with diabetes about 1 1/2 years ago. Since then, my health matters have been nothing but misinformation and confusion. This book is the first source of straight forward talk I have gotten about my health. Anyone who wants to avoid diabetes or deal with it should read this one.

Take Control of Your Diabetes Risk is a very interesting book. It contains new and helpful as well as a true and false section that clears up misconceptions. This is what I needed many years ago. There are many contributing factors to diabetes. Some are beyond my control. Genetics plays a factor, the way we were taught to clean our plate, the processed foods we have eaten, the lack of daily exercise or activity from a young age to adult (work habits) have a lot more to do with this than eating too much sugar. It is clear we have many bad influences such as fast food, and foods labeled to trick us into thinking it is a healthier choice. I learned a lot of information that can help me change the way I look at certain foods, drinks, and exercise. I am glad that I now have this book as a reference tool for a better future.
