Conquering Diabetes: A Complete Program for Prevention and Treatment Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

A cutting-edge, comprehensive guide to diabetes and prediabetes treatment by a world- renowned physician

The numbers are epidemic, more than 60 million Americans have prediabetes or diabetes, and the complications (heart disease, blindness, kidney failure) can be devastating. But they are not inevitable, says Anne Peters, M.D., who, in
Conquering Diabetes, explains how prediabetes can be reversed and diabetes can be conquered.

Millions of afflicted Americans are confused, frightened, and often receiving sub-par treatment from inexperienced primary care physicians. As a university-based researcher and clinician, Dr. Peters is at the forefront of the latest developments in the prevention and treatment of the disease. Conquering Diabetes offers readers a complete program, including what foods to eat/avoid, which medications help/hurt, and how to get the best treatment from your doctor.

"[When] I was diagnosed with diabetes, I immediately sought out the best, Dr.Anne Peters." —Gary Hall, five-time Olympic gold medalist

"An excellent first-step resource for diabetics and prediabetics alike." 
—Publishers Weekly

I found the book was very informative, easy to follow, intuitively written. I found answers in this tome, that my primary care did not know. Thank you Dr. Peters and Amazon.com, for your help in making me more conscious of health.

I was not as impressed with this book. It may have some dated information and I needed something very up to date.

As a 57-year-old man who has been struggling with Type 2 Diabetes for 21 years, I found this book helpful despite already being well read in this subject. Although I've had years of diabetes education, there were some good nuggets here about food, and useful, anecdotal patient success stories about the specific foods they eat and when they eat them.

My only complaint is that Dr. Peters needs to include one more chapter to deal with insulin injections, for those, like me, who have never used insulin before but who may need to do so in the future. And within that missing chapter, she needs to talk about the risk of gaining weight on insulin even with reduced calorie intake, which has happened to many acquaintences. Perhaps these people are doing something wrong, but Dr. Peters doesn't address this frequent and serious concern.

Still, for anyone who needs a lot of information about dealing with diabetes up front, this is as close as it gets to a one-stop shop.

Careful comprehensive education for diabetes patients. Has not been updated, and many patients will require additional information on the newer treatment modalities.
