This book is a must-read/reference manual to help you talk with your doctor, in management/reversal of your Type II Diabetes.
Very informative. I am a Type II Diabetic, and became very frustrated with the roller coaster numbers game as goes my blood sugar. After reading a considerable amount of information, I wasn't satisfied. I remembered that decades earlier, a gentleman that I worked with announced that he and his wife had 'cured' his diabetes through his diet. So, I set out to find a book that looks at diabetes from a 'Scientific' perspective. I was thrilled to receive Dr. Zaidi's book. It contains a series of case studies from Dr. Zaidi's medical practice, and goes into great detail about the root cause of Type II Diabetes, and his treatment practices and successes from that perspective (which I've never read addressed before). I now understand why my fasting blood sugar is higher in the morning (even though I didn't consume any sugar the evening before). I have a better understanding of which diabetes medications do what, and their side effects; the importance of supplements, and fiber, and I now have a new perspective on foods, and which ones do what, and are best for me. I now know the best amount of time to test my after-meal blood sugar level, and I feel more in control because I have meaningful information and explanations. Since I've begun to incorporate some of Dr. Zaidi's tips (his 'Five Steps'), into my daily lifestyle, I've lowered, and hope to continue lowering my blood sugar level (with the eventual reversal of the dis-ease as my ultimate goal); and I can't wait for my next visit to my own physician, so we can talk about Dr. Zaidi's approach, along with my physician's recommendations, and importantly, for the first time since my diagnosis, I feel like a partner in my own health care regimen. I will be purchasing a copy of this book for my children (just so they'll know).

Type 2 Diabetes education
Written in 2014 this book is still applicable today. It starts by explaining what Type 2 Diabetes is, explains blood sugar levels under different conditions and time of day, then goes on to explaining on how to take charge of your diabetes through diet and exercise. It has a section on complication caused by diabetes and ends with recipes.This book is written by a medical doctor but in plain terms that lay person can understand, I found detailed and educational.Ali Julia review

Must read book that could be paradigm changing for you!
Lot of thinking has gone into this book and any one with diabetes or a friend/family member with diabetes can derive value from this book.The writing is direct and to the point. It imparts you the underlying knowledge that one would need to deal with type 2 diabetes in a disarmingly simple manner. The author asks provocative questions that can get one started on a journey to go beyond to live a balanced life.In the day of super specializations, Dr. Zaidi, himself a highly qualified super specialist endocrinologist, takes a macroscopic (big picture) view of life and seems to have thought long and hard, worked as a practitioner and synthesized his thoughts and penned this book. Very refreshing indeed. Now anyone can benefit from the book from a simple how to deal with your own Type 2 Diabetes to getting at the root cause for managing life.While there are lot of wonderful recipes for healthy diet in the book that one can enjoy, the core preposition of this book could enable you to do away with recipes for managing your diabetes and can help you be supportive of folks who have diabetes around you.

Extremely enlightening and provides a very viable lifestyle change to deal with diabetes.
This book provides sufficient detail to understand how diabetes affects so many bodily systems as well as positive actions to reduce high blood sugar through a change in diet, exercise and stress reduction. It was also interesting in learning how different cultures around the world had developed means of addressing high blood sugar through herbs and plants. The many examples of different types of foods available that do not result in increasing blood sugar levels is very much appreciated and gives one hope. I wish this book had been available ten years ago. I would strongly recommend it to anyone diagnosed to have diabetes.

Read diabetes books
Folks, read all you can about diabetes. Sleep Apnea and Diabetes go hand in hand. Get it down asap through leafy veggies and fish. Understand the metabolism of diabetes and how fat is stored. But important is glaucoma which is pushed along by diabetes and sleep apnea. Don't go blind.

A Bible for the prevention and reversal of type 2 diabetes.
I have a medical background so am reasonably well placed to judge this book from a scientific perspective.This book for me was a revelation having downloaded the audio version from audible.com thinking its a 9 hour book and there will be a few gems I was so wrong within the first 30 minutes there gems flying like bullets so densely and nutritiously packed with useful scientific knowledge.I couldn't stop listening as I had so many questions..I bought the book straight away-my wife who is a hospital medical consultant could not put the book down as there was just so much useful information.Most importantly this book gives you hope when at early diagnosis you can feel a shroud of darkness envelope you- I am so grateful to Dr Zaidi for writing this book.Dr Zaidi is an endocrinologist in the USA who treats type 2 diabetics everyday with a unique passion:Using a comprehensive multi-pronged approach of Stress reduction,medication,diet,supplements and exercise.His focus is on the cause of diabetes which is insulin resistance;whereas most books and doctors focus on the effect of diabetes -high blood sugar.By treating the cause complications can reduced and prevented in most cases which makes so much sense.There is no other book like this on the market that explores VIt D deficiency,stress management,herbal supplements,chapters on each organ complication and management,case studies after case studies,scientific references.Get it and gift it.This is a wow book.
