“This is an excellent and easy to read comprehensive Guide that will help people suffering with any type of diabetes to take responsibility for and properly manage all aspects of their disease under the guidance of their health care team, by adapting a healthy diet and lifestyle with the right behavioral attitude, thereby attaining the best quality of life they can within the constraints of this potentially debilitating disease. Indeed, I believe that anyone who is diagnosed as even being at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes should conscientiously study this Book.”
Simple and useful
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I bought this and another book after checking the web for diet guidlines and mostly finding “eat healthy” or “buy my pills.” The most helpful parts of this book for me are
Diet – Remember serving size. A high glycemic index isn’t bad if the serving size is small. This is the difference between glycemic load (what a serving will do to your blood glucose) and glycemic index (what a ‘standard ammount’ would do). And a little sugar is o.k. (I eat 1-2 Dove dark chocolate pieces after dinner.)
Exercise – Maximum improvement using insulin to process blood glucose with minimum perceived effort comes from walking 40 minutes every other day.
It’s been 6 weeks since I started taking meds and about a month since I started following the exercise and diet suggestions. All my blood glucose readings for the last two weeks have been under 125.

Review Written by a long time type 2 diabetic
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The book deals with dieting viewed from the “Glycemic Index” point of view which in my opinion is a long overdue consideration in the management of diabetes. The book has sections for Type I Diabetics, Type II Diabetics, “Understanding Diabetes”, “Managing Diabetes”, “Managing Prediabetes”, “Pregnancey, Birth, Breast Feeding and Diabetes”, and Dietary Tables.
An example of the change of view, is the allowability of fructose in the diabetic diet. In my 1910 Encyclopedia Brittanica the article on diabetes says that fructose is a preferable sweetener to glucose or sucrose. For the last 50 years, the dietetic attitude has been to minimize any sugar in the diet, including fructose. “The New Glucose Revolution” on the other hand says, “It (fructose) stands out from the crowd (of sweeteners), being sweeter than sugar providing the same number of calories, but having only one third the GI(Glycemic Index). So you can use less fructose to achieve the same level of sweetness, and as a result, consume fewer calories and experience a much smaller rise in your blood glucose levels.” This quotation demonstrates the viewpoint of this book in its balanced discussions of glycemic index, and the reduction in calories for weight control. Oddly, it vindicates some of the medicine of our Victorian ancestors as well.

Some helpful info!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This book has some helpful info but I was looking for a book with the complete glycemic index for all foods and this does not have that.
Save your money.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Total waste of cash.
Was recommended by some diabetes blog or column.
What were they thinking? Answer: Not much.
Glycemic Index listed mostly prepackaged foods THAT I NEVER HEARD OF and the first 95% of book is rehashed drivel.
What we need is an updated Glycemic Index with values of ‘real food’ and a healthy dose of restaurant, and prepackaged foods.
Dr Atkins… we miss you.
Diabetes – without the industry message
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
There are too many sources on diabetes that accept the American diet as a given, and just try to get you to tweak it at the edges. Too many organizations like the ADA, that want members dues, sell their products to make money, and take funds from the food industry that is busy destroying Americans’ health. Too many “experts” who won’t go the extra mile to change our eating habits.
These Aussies who wrote this book are for real. Sure, they accept that diabetics, like all of use, eat some stuff that is not great. But they go the extra mile, and make sure that vegetarian and vegan eating are part of the discussion. It’s not just about portions; it’s about the right stuff, in proportion. And they make the science of their wisdom very accessible.
It is a must-read for diabetics, and a must-read for all Americans slowly being poisoned by a diet of mammoth hamburgers, greasy fries, and globs of ice cream.
Very informative book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I just found out I was prediabetic and ordered this book. I couldn’t have asked for a more informative and helpful book. It answered all my questions, and I would highly recommend this to everyone with questions about prediabetes and diabetes. It fully explains the glycemic index with examples.
Excellent infomation and easy to understand
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book gives a whole new perspective on how to eat correctly to control blood sugar. Whether you are pre-diabetic (as I am), gestational diabetic, type I diabetic, or type II diabetic (as hubby is)…the information is in here for the taking! Being a Cajun, I don’t care much for most of the recipes in here, but the information is worth its weight in gold…you won’t regret getting this book and you will use it for life. If you get only one book on diabetes, get this one!
I agree with B Real
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I agree with “B Real”. The brand names mentioned in the tables are very useful if you live in Australia. The authors also seem to think that aspartame and sucralose are harmless and stevia is bad. They should read “Sweet Deception” by Joseph Mercola and “Excitotoxins, The Taste That Kills” by Russell Blaylock.
clear and informative
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Easy to read and understand. The best I have read so far on diabetes and the GI.
Revised and Improved
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Expanded and improved. Information and recipes are improved in scope. Wish more data on common US brands were available. [...] I have usewd this diet for 7 years with excellent chemical and well-being improvement.

Being newly diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetic, this was the most helpful reference I found. I highly recommend it to all. It is also great if you are trying to lose weight using the Adkins or South Beach diet but having problems. This solves them all!
GREAT informatoin!

Using the glycemic index for making choices about what to eat has been a tremendous help. This way of eating is not difficult and made a huge difference in my health. I recommend it to everyone!
