Book Review:

 

There is a new book that I had the opportunity to review:

 “Diabetes Type 2 - Complete Food  Management Program”

(Prima Publishing 11/2001) is a comprehensive guide to the nutritional management of diabetes.  It was authored by Sherri Shafer a registered dietitian /CDE at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco.   

Sherri Shafer draws on her extensive personal experience in nutritional management to make the dietary approach very practical.  She doesn’t ask the reader to completely change their diet, but explains to the patient how their diet can be modified into their individual personal preferences and life style. 

It is written in a very easy-to-read follow format to assist people with type 2 diabetes to incorporate nutrition therapy into their diabetes management.  It is packed with practical information and is a very comprehensive and thorough resource.   Plus with all the changes that have occurred in the treatment knowledge for type 2 diabetes, this book provides the essential information readers need.  In addition it is very user-friendly in covering the in’s and out’s of the disease. 

Topics include: carbohydrate management, from label reading to carb counting; strategies for weight control, blood pressure control, and heart health; fiber facts, alcohol advice, exercise guidelines and more. There are chapters devoted to managing diabetes during childhood, pregnancy, and the golden years. Whether, the diabetes is newly diagnosed, or long-standing, this book offers something for everyone. Health care practitioners will also find it a valuable resource.
