Product Description
A 12-month plan for surviving diabetes
The most frightening moment for most people with diabetes is when they are first diagnosed. They are filled with questions: What can I eat? What should I do? Is there a plan for me to follow? While some people get a plan from their doctor, most people do not. Your First Year with Diabetes is the plan for everyone. It walks you step-by-step through a first-30-days survival plan, then shows a month-by-month program for what comes next. Everything from a basic explanation of diabetes, what you can eat right away, and instructions on how to check glucose to a deeper knowledge about diabetes nutrition, avoiding complications, and better management. Your First Year with Diabetes also anticipates and explains problems such as depression, illnesses, and needing to lose weight.

Whether this is your first year with diabetes or your first year to get serious about diabetes, this is the book for you! Each page of this guide offers practical, sensible, understandable explanations of the complicated condition in a lighthearted style you will easily absorb. I learned something new on every page myself, and I’ve been a Diabetes Educator for 27 years! I wholeheartedly recommend this book for a fresh approach to support individualized goals and successful achievement of optimal health outcomes. Sandy Pieschel RN, BSW, CDE

When I left my doctors office after being diagnosed I was Stunned to say the least.
This book helped answer questions I had not even thought of, and clarify things said in the meeting.

It transforms your problem into plan of actions, which are entirely doable. After reading it, 1) I promptly scheduled appointments to check eyes, skin and feet; 2) never skip metformin again (if I forget about it, I’ll take it couple of hours later); 3) excluded such carbs as carrots and peas from my daily intake – I never realized that I used to overdose on these carbs. These days, I’m much better on brocolli slaw. Bottom line, it was a very helpful book.

Just diagnosed with diabetes. Never really sick a day in my life, am active and don’t smoke, drink, or eat fast food. So what the heck am I doing with diabetes?! For me this has been a wake up call to start living a healthier life style. Anyway this has been a very useful first book on diabetes for me. Also recommend Diabetes for Dummies and Cinnamon capsules which have been effective in keeping my sugar down.

Rick Barlow Says:
Your First Year with Diabetes is an engaging and user friendly guide to living with diabetes. The lists breakdown the key information and the cartoons sprinkled throughout the book provide just the right amount of levity. The tone in conversational, not institutional, and spells out key concepts, helping to highlight essential info. The checklists at the end of the chapters are a great summary to guide one through what can be an overwhelming experience!
