This is a different sort of book than the other diabetes books I've read. It is a practical, down-to-earth guide to managing the disease in the best possible way.

I keep thinking of an alternate universe where people with diabetes II or prediabetes are given this wonderful book and the support they need to put the book's recommendations into practice. There would be so much less diabetic complications. Instead, most MDs just throw meds at their diabetic patients which at least keeps the drug reps happy. Jenny Ruhl is my hero!
Disclosure: I wrote this book under another pen name. I just wanted to post a thank you here to all the people here and on Amazon who have taken the time to write reviews and make this book an indie bestseller.
Great book. She aligns with Bernstein in general, but does diverge on a couple of key points and gives clear well-thought reasons for doing so. They author also has several excellent websites on diabetes and low-carb eating.
