Download or read book Type 2 written by Miryam Williamson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An estimated 16 million Americans (more than 7 percent of the population) suffer from Type 2 diabetes-a shocking increase of 49 percent since 1990. Of all the major diseases, diabetes is the ultimate self-help condition, for diet and exercise are the keys to combating it. However, Type 2 is also an inordinately lonely and confusing disease. It's hard not to feel isolated when so many social events center around food and drink that may be off-limits to diabetics. And because there's no one-size-fits-all diet, because symptoms are often hidden, and because the impact of uncontrolled diabetes is usually years away, diabetics can feel adrift as they search for answers. Even maintaining an exercise routine may be impeded by depression, which often accompanies the disease. Diabetes is even more challenging on an emotional level because diabetics have few support groups to turn to. Standing out among hundreds of books on diabetes, Type 2 will help fill that gap. Medical writer Miryam Ehrlich Williamson has interviewed Type 2 diabetics across North America who share their stories of struggle and success, from healthy eating at parties to handling feelings of anger and hopelessness to reducing anxiety and pain during blood glucose testing. Type 2 diabetics will see themselves in this inspiring print version of a support group, and the experiences and advice of fellow diabetics will motivate and guide them to control their disease and stay actively involved in life.

Another 84 million--more than 30% of the adult population--have elevated blood sugar levels that put them at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.

In Winning Your Blood Sugar Battle, Dr. Richard Furman shows you the three essential steps to take in order to defeat diabetes before it defeats you. He carefully explains the latest medical literature, offers proven guidelines on what to eat (and what not to eat), and outlines an effective exercise program for keeping the heart healthy.

Download or read book S O S SIMPLE OLD SOLUTION For Type 2 Diabetes written by Pansy Elizabeth Clayton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pansy Clayton, though she was born and raised in South Carolina, has a unique way of getting the point across about this disease, Diabetes Type 2, in that she comes from a long line of North Carolina Mountain women who inherited Diabetes from their mothers. These ancestors were born and raised near Turkey Foot, North Carolina. These were hard working, hard living women who fed their families good home cooked meals like yeast rolls, potatoes and gravy. They were also poor and had to "make do" with what they could scronge up for meals to feed hungry men and children who worked in the fields all day therefore their eating habits were not the best. Pansy was raised in Bamberg County of South Carolina living next door to her S.C. grandparents who cooked and ate the same way but added grits and red eye gravy and lots of Southern dishes to their menu. These people from the old South did not understand what Diabetes was all about and never knew how to control it. It controlled their lives. The point of this book for Pansy Clayton is to get the message out there that Diabetes is controllabe if you are willing to use this method: Eat lots and lots of fresh vegetables and a little bit of healthy, lean meat without any sauces. The other thing is to eat fresh fruit but eat it alone. Do not eat anything with the fruit. It is enough by itself. Pansy describes in detail exactly what she eats and how the process works with your body to control this raging disease.
