Thank you to BenBella Books and Netgalley for this opportunity to read Prediabetes: A Complete Guide by Jill Weisenberger for my honest review.
As someone who was just diagnosed with prediabetes I found this book invaluable. Receiving a diagnosis like this can be scary, confusing, and daunting. But this book has it all when it comes to explaining what is prediabetes and what you can do to avoid diabetes in your future.
I really enjoyed all the helpful insights and medical explanations. As well as setting goals for yourself in such a positive way.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has prediabetes or diabetes risk factors! The knowledge from this book is very empowering.

A really useful book. Recently diagnosed I was not sure how to proceed and got no advice from my medical practice. This book is easy to read and answered many of my questions. I will be following the advice and see how it goes. A real reassurance when I needed guidance.

Good easy to understand guide to pre diabetes. From what are the causes to changing your habits to meal planning.
Bharath R, Reviewer
The number of people being diagnosed with Prediabetes & subsequently Diabetes is increasing fast. A lot of what we knew in the past about the conditions has changed as well. This is a sensible book with a lot of useful information – especially if you have not read any books on the topic before.
The book covers approaches to ward off/reverse prediabetes spanning diet, exercise, and sleep. The key is balance – the right proportion of carbs, fat & nutrients, while avoiding foods which are triggers (typically processed food, sugar and saturated fat). There is fairly detailed food information, though primarily focused on the US. I found the inclusion of habit formation theory, shopping methods to be unnecessary. Though there is some information on international foods – it is sketchy and largely useless.
Overall, a book packed with lots of good information.
My rating: 3.5 / 5.

This is a good beginner guide to prediabetes. It covers diet, exercise, activity, sleep, habit changes, etc. It is very conventional, standard advice. If you are brand new to the topic it will probably be very helpful.
I read a digital copy of this book for review.
