Losing weight is the single most effective step you can take to manage your diabetes if you have it-and to reduce your chances of ever getting it if you are at risk.
This is not a fad diet. Instead, The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet is about finding enjoyable new habits to make your life better. These lifestyle choices help you control your diabetes much more easily today, and prevent dangerous, possibly life-threatening complications later.
Losing weight takes planning and a commitment, but the rewards are great. This book eliminates the guesswork for you. The Mayo Clinic's step-by-step plan can actually reverse the process that causes diabetes, and the effects can be dramatic. Within a couple of days of losing weight, blood sugar values improve, sometimes dramatically. You'll get:
