Book Description

After Gretchen Becker was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1996, she educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition — by reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors and listening to her own body. In 2001, she marshaled everything she had learned as a “patient-expert” into the first edition of this book, which she has now completely updated and revised. The First Year®—Type 2 Diabetes uniquely guides you step-by-step through your first year with diabetes, walking you through everything you need to learn and do each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and each subsequent month of the crucial first year.
In clear, concise, accessible language, Becker covers a wide range of practical, medical, and lifestyle issues, beginning with coming to terms with your diagnosis and then moving on to subjects including:
• Choosing the diet that is best for you
• The role of exercise
• Daily blood-glucose testing routines and understanding lab tests
• Medications and supplements
• Networking with others
• Insurance issues
• Traveling and socializing

5 out of 5 stars Newly diagnosed? THIS BOOK IS A MUST-HAVE!.......2007-05-26

This book is, quite simply, outstanding. Lots of excellent information about handling Type 2 diabetes. The author knows what she's talking about -- very knowledgeable, and very readable.

Even if you have Type 2, it's also a great refresher.

4 out of 5 stars THE FIRST YEAR: TYPE 2 DIABETES:.......2007-05-22

For those of us recently diagnosed with Diabetes 2, this is a very
helpful book. Hearing the diagnosis for the first time can conjure
up a lot of fears, but this book helps to calm the fear and gives you
the answers and guidelines you need. Definitely a good book to have.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent read.......2007-04-01

I read the book over two days. The information is presented very well and in an understandable manner. It sets the stage for the seriousness of the disease but also gets you in a position to deal with it as best as you can. So far, I have liked this book the most of the diabetes related material I have ordered and highly recommend this. This should be the book you get from your doctor or endocrinologist with the diagnosis.

5 out of 5 stars Eye Opening.......2007-03-29

Gave the best description and information I have so far been able to find about Diabetes Type II

5 out of 5 stars A true ESSENTIAL for the newly diagnosed.......2007-03-26

I have referred to this book numerous times since I bought it. I even lent it to my cousin and after 3 months told them I wanted it back! lol
