The Prediabetes Diet Plan: How to Reverse Prediabetes and Prevent Diabetes through Healthy Eating and Exercise

Being recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes, I was confused as to what that actually meant for my body and what I was to do. I read Hillary Wright's book as I was consulting my doctor and my own nutritionist and I found everything Hillary mentioned to be accurate and in agreement with my medical advice.I enjoyed Hillary's writing style, as I felt she was writing directly to me and I found it easy to follow along with her examples and facts. I often found myself using Hillary's analogies as I explained my recent diagnosis to friends and family, and they too found the explanations easy to understand.I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes or has a family member living with pre-diabetes. There are many tips of menu and food choice selections, so it is key that anyone who is serving food to a pre-diabetic truly understands what is involved with the diet.My entire family is now eating healthier thanks to Hillary's tips. Diabetes or not, it is a diet I believe all people should follow to some degree for healthier choices. Hillary's information about the abundant increase of pre-diabetes and diabetes in American society is mind boggling.

My blood sugar readings have varied around 100+ the past few years and most recently hit 112 a couple months ago. I was concerned diabetes might be inevitable and turned to this book for help. After implementing the diet and exercise guidelines, I'm glad to say I've dropped my blood sugar to 100, have lost 20 pounds, and my blood pressure has dropped to the point where I'll probably want to discontinue some of my meds (have to check with my doctor). The program isn't magic but if you do the work, I think and hope it will work for you.

Lots of good info. Turns out I was not prediabetic but close. I followed the recommendations in this and the Fuhrman book "The End of Diabetes". Not only has my glucose level gone down, my weight and blood pressure have gone down too. My taste has changed, as well. Foods I loved give me no desire and for a splurge last week, I went to big name fast food joint. Yuck. I felt sick afterwards.

I began reading this book after I was diagnosed prediabetes a couple of years ago. I have found this to be incredibly thorough, based in medical research, and encouraging. This book doesn’t suggest a specific diet nor a specific exercise. Since weight loss is very important part of my doctor’s recommendation for me, I have found this book to be very encouraging and helpful in my weight loss journey. Overall, this book is the best for someone trying to reverse diabetes.

This helped me understand what might be going on with me. If anything it made it clear that I need to count my sugar grams. So,I’ve cut back to 25 grams a day for now. Since I’m not obese, have low blood pressure, low cholesterol and good triglycerides, I’m in that group of others who don’t know why this is happening. Or I thought I didn’t. But after reading this book, I realized all the hidden sugars in my foods. I now read everything label.

this book is very well written and organized. if you are try ing to figure out how to eat so your blood sugar will stay more even, and you are not yet fully diabetic, this book will tell you how to do it. she gives you the easy science so you can design a program for yourself, without going to a dietician. i have had several books along this line, this is the best one i've bought. i like it very much.

This book is amazingly thorough! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. It is a no-nonsense guide to healthy eating, let alone anyone with prediabetes. The sample menu plans at the back of the book are most helpful because they give you variety and alternatives to each suggested meal. Although the author is a specialist in women's health issues, this book is most pertinent for men as well. Besides what she knows about managing insulin resistance, Ms. Wright states that her goal is to "provide the same sense and empowerment and doable, realistic diet and lifestyle strategies to the much larger population who have prediabetes." She definitely accomplishes her goal! In addition, her footnotes are some of the most detailed I've ever seen for such a book. She has done her homework and this book proves it. Every doctor who treats patients with these concerns needs to first "prescribe" this book.

Although the book had more markings/writing in it than any used book I've purchased, it was otherwise in good condition; Arrived quickly, and priced competitively.
