PLAN
You

You are at risk for type 2 diabetes or

resistance syndrome or prediabetes. Learn
how to stop diabetes in its tracks -
before it becomes irreversible.
Description
In The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan,
two of the countries leading authorities
on nutrition and diabetes - Sandra
Woodruff, registered dietitian and author
of numerous books on healthy eating and
cooking, and Christopher Saudek, MD,
director of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes
Center and former president of the
American Diabetes Association - have
combined their expertise to present the
first total life plan that addresses the
emerging epidemic of
prediabetes.
Details
An estimated 40 million Americans have
prediabetes - a condition in which blood
sugar levels are higher than normal, but
not quite high enough to be diagnosed as
diabetes. Left unchecked, most people with
prediabetes will go to develop full-blown
diabetes within 10 years. One-in-four
Americans also have a condition known as
the metabolic syndrome (also called
insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome
X), often the earliest warning sign that
you could be destined for
diabetes.
In
The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan, you
will learn who is most at risk, and how to
stop diabetes in its tracks. You will find
a wealth of practical advice with dietary
guidelines for preventing diabetes,
delicious and practical menus, ideas for
eating out, weight-loss tips, and smart
exercise solutions. The book also features
over 170 easy and appealing recipes that
emphasize good carbs, healthful fats, and
controlled calories - all crucial elements
in a diabetes-fighting diet. The Complete
Diabetes Prevention Plan is a definitive
guide for cooking, eating, and living well
to prevent diabetes and its debilitating
and life-threatening effects. For
additional diabetes prevention recipes and
ideas see The Good Carb Cookbook and
Secrets of Good-Carb/Low-Carb
Living.
