Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life: And the 50 Diabetes Truths That Can Save It – Riva Greenberg (E) I was happily surprised to discover that there was a new edition available. The original Think Like a Pancreas is on my all-time best books list and should be required reading for anyone that spends a lot of their time masquerading as a pancreas. If you use insulin to treat diabetes, and you're only going to read one book about how it works, this is it! Insulin can give a person freedom, independence, and a really good life. However, there's more to living with insulin then knowing how to give an injection. Once you master how insulin works, you can get on with living your life. Yoga for Diabetes is a highly motivational and personalized guide that inspires readers to incorporate yoga into their daily diabetes management plan. It’s written by yoga teacher Rachel Zinman who lives with diabetes herself. Readers are gently guided to achieve better blood glucose levels, less stress, radiant health, and well-being no matter what their age or level of yoga experience.

Ginger Vieira and Jennifer Smith, CDE & RD, guide you through preparing for pregnancy – from conception to birth and through the challenges of managing your blood sugars during postpartum. It’s the only book on the market today dedicated entirely to pregnancy with type 1 diabetes (that I know of) and Ginger’s own experience as a mother living with diabetes shines through. Exercise is healthy for everybody, but the benefits of exercise are even more evident for people living with diabetes. Not only can exercise lower blood sugars right now, but it can also improve insulin sensitivity and help maintain a healthy weight in the long term. urn:oclc:781538825 Republisher_date 20180118112658 Republisher_operator [email protected] Republisher_time 472 Scandate 20180117104600 Scanner ttscribe8.hongkong.archive.org Scanningcenter hongkong Source

Although I don’t follow Dr. Bernstein’s approach myself, his book is among the most influential diabetes books for anyone wishing to support their diabetes management by following a low carb diet. For me, this book ultimately reflected much of what I had gone through in my journey with diabetes. From my diagnosis, to getting my head around diabetes, to getting a bit more active in my management with basal and bolus calculations, to finally learning to navigate my way through the daily diabetes challenges a little more smoothly. Several of the lightbulb moments I’ve had since I started pumping insulin last year can also be found in this book. The Athlete’s Guide to Diabetes can be considered the original diabetes and exercise handbook. The book presents research and basic knowledge on diabetes and exercise, fitness, and nutrition plus athlete examples from over 350 diabetic exercisers. This includes examples from type 1 and 2 diabetic athletes from a variety of athletic disciplines using different medications and regimens. It’s a highly inspiring book and you’ll most likely find example(s) of whatever athletic discipline you enjoy. The Complete Diabetes Organizer: Your Guide to a Less Stressful and More Manageable Diabetes Life – Susan Weiner & Leslie Josel (E)

this book is really good practical information for all diabetics, but especially for type 1's. the one star off comes from that it all links, except general reading and blogs are for Americans. Understandably one can't list the diabetes associations of every country on this planet, but it's also good to mention the emphasis in the beginning. And woah, do the American diabetics need all the help they get in these times... You’ll learn my tools and methodologies for exercising and managing blood sugars. This knowledge will help you limit blood sugar fluctuations during and after exercise and aid you in reaching and maintaining your fitness and health goal. Sugar surfing is based on the concept that our diabetes management should be individualized, and it teaches how to manage diabetes in a dynamic way following a course of self-experimentation. Dr. Ponder is an endocrinologist and lives with diabetes himself so he gets it! The book teaches you how to utilize the available diabetes technology (CGM and insulin pumps) in your self-management.For many Diabetics, the physiology of Diabetes is confusing. If someone asks them why they're Diabetic, they just say "My pancreas doesn't work... right" and leave it at that. This book will give the reader a very good understanding of what role the pancreas plays in a non-Diabetic body and how insulin therapy can be used to restore the balance a healthy pancreas provides. Welcome to the real world. Gary proceeds to talk through the many other elements that tend to affect blood sugar levels. Caffeine, stress, illness, travel and pregnancy, to name a few – with tips for dealing with them. There are also tips for dealing with protein when consumed in the absence of carbohydrate. And have you ever gone out for dinner, only to find yourself correcting resilient blood sugar levels well into the night? One of the lightbulb moments for me in this section of the book was Gary’s suggestion of using a temporary basal rate for several hours to combat the insulin resistance that typically follows a larger, restaurant, or higher fat meal.
