Synopsis:

Combined expertise from a doctor and a dietitian show exactly how those with this disease can adopt a program that will vastly improve and in many cases completely restore their health. Recommended is a low fat, high fiber, low sodium plant-based diet that not only works best to overcome insulin resistance but also helps to protect against heart disease, promote a healthy body weight, and achieve and maintain good blood sugar control. Complete with over 50 recipes, meal menus, a basic shopping list and a new food pyramid designated for people with diabetes, readers are given all the tools they need for a successful transition to a new dietary lifestyle. User-friendly advice on how to improve exercise, sleep, sex and self-care addresses all of the essentials for living well including the importance of emotional well- being. In cases where diet and exercise are not enough, information on alternative therapies and supplements are explored as well as conventional therapies.

Synopsis: Up to this point, a diagnosis of adult onset diabetes has been seen as irreversible, a condition to be managed for the rest of one's life. Dr. Tom Bernard and Brenda Davis offer real hope that the causes of diabetes can be eliminated, allowing diabetics to regain their health and avoid the terrible toll this disease can effect. They recommend positive steps for anyone who wants to defeat their diabetes, and offer basic lifestyle changes that can curb our modern diabetes epidemic.
