The Diabetes Reset: Avoid It. Control It. Even Reverse It; A Doctor's Scientific Program

Millions of Americans have Type 2 diabetes, or are in danger of developing it. In this title, King (Joslin Diabetes Ctr.) states that "No two cases of Type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are alike." With this in mind, the author offers a wide range of strategies for preventing the onset of the illness or managing one's health once a diagnosis is made. King provides a series of promises at the outset of the book that, depending on the patient's stage of development, include restoring glucose sensitivity to normal, avoiding the need for medication, and even "resetting" the need for medication at all. The language is careful to include qualifiers like "may allow you to reset" but the focus seems to be on how any healthy change is a good one. Part 1 supplies eight strategies for the "Diabetes Reset Toolbox," including the "Rural Asian Diet," burning calories, and reducing stress. Part 2 shares a week-by-week plan for implementing the strategies outlined in Part 1.
