As someone who is battling 'pre-diabetes' I found this book very interesting and informative. The book had just enough informative iinformation and the right balance of 'reflection' points. Plus just the overall tone was very non-judgmental, and had the feel of 'these are the things that could help you'. Which is perfect for one trying to understand the frustrating world of managing blood levels. Highly recommend for anyone looking for guidance with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

This guide introduces a new way to manage diabetes that shifts the focus away from weight loss. Many medical professionals stress the importance of losing weight, but research shows that this focus can lead to issues like unhealthy obsessions with food and disordered eating habits. Instead, it advocates for Intuitive Eating, which emphasizes self-compassion and tuning into your body's natural signals of hunger and fullness.

Embracing a diabetic-friendly diet—even if you don’t have diabetes—can help you build a healthier relationship with food. This approach supports effective blood sugar management without the limitations of traditional dieting, allowing you to break free from feelings of guilt and shame. Ultimately, it promotes holistic well-being, with weight loss becoming a possible side effect of adopting a more balanced lifestyle.
