Trying to treat my diabetes much better and this book has allowed me to still enjoy my food yet being conscious about my health.

I have gotten used to the bland taste of this tea and will continue using it because it has helped stabilize my glucose levels and helped to decrease some of the high levels I've been having. I have been type 1 diabetic for over 30 years and have seen lots of home remedies try and fail. I continue to take insulin since this is not a cure-all, but am glad to have an extra line of defense against high glucose levels.

When this book was recommended to me by a friend, I ordered it right away. I have been living by it's principles ever since. I have also ordered it for one of my daughters and reccomened it to another. Last month when I had blood work done, my A1c level had improved. That is very good news for me as I have been trying to keep from getting diabetes for many years now. In three months I have only eaten a high carb food two times. This is a way of life for me.

I have not completed the reading of "The End of Diabetes" because the book scared me as a diabetic and the need to have a doctor working with you to reduce the medicines as you do the diet system.

The first book I ordered on Diabetes was titled Reverse Diabetes, and is about food for diabetics.  I reordered several copies and gave them to close friends.  All have made great progress toward reversing this disease.  One friend no longer tests positive for diabetes.  I ordered this book Eat to Beat Diabetes, to see if it would be a better book to refer people to.  I have done a quick little read, and think it will also be a good book.  If there is a chance to reverse diabetes  just by changing the food you eat, isn't it worth the effort?  I am such a firm believer in the  life created by healthy eating since I made this change this past two years.

I purchased Dr. Zaidi's book six months ago when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it has been a tremondous help in copping with my condition.  The book provides an excellent explanation the causes and symptoms of insulin resistence and provides a well though out treatment plan.  This includes a simple excercise routine, an easy to follow diet, and a stress management plan.  By following Dr. Zaidi's plan, and my doctors treatment, I have lowered my blood glucose from 313 to a level consistently under 120.  I have lost weight and stopped the effects of neuropathy in my feet.  I highly recommend this book for anyone with diabetes or wanting to learn about diabetes.

I was tired of spending so much money for insulin and supplies every 3 months. 18years of diabetes and nothing but getting fatter and taking more and new kinds of insulin. I read this again after having looked at it several years ago and decided while on vacation that I am going to start this. 244# 40+ waist, short of breath during activities, blood pressure creeping up into the 130's/90's range, edema to legs, using asthma inhaler regularly. so what does a fat guy have to lose? well since may 11, I have lost 50 pounds. the diet is somewhat like the paleo but in simplicity no white flour (no bread or pasta) no white rice (eat black or red rice), no white potatoes (eat only purple or sweet, and red skinned potatoes are still white inside), no white sugar (use stevia or honey if my sugar is low). basically I had prayed for better health for a while but nothing came along that miraculously allowed me to eat like a hog and have my health improve. I HAVE NOT begun to exercise yet and yet I have lost 50#. I was eating too much of the wrong things and too much of the good things as well. doesn't seem easy but read the book, put it in place bit by bit or jump in at least knee deep. I am diabetic and have taken insulin for 10 years or more. the book says by 6 months or so you might be able to change the dosing of your meds. I stopped taking insulin for the most part in 6 DAYS. was taking 100units per day. based on that I should have taken over 12,000 units of insulin in the past 4 months. in fact I have taken about 50. .................it still hard to believe but my scale, my new 36inch waist, and everyone around me can't be wrong. I weigh what I did just out of high school 40 years ago. I wanted to get healthy, and not go broke taking meds. I would strongly encourage anyone who is serious about loving themselves and wanting what is best for themselves, to try reading the book and put these ideas into play for themselves. I eat 5-6 times a day, I am seldom hungry. there is plenty to eat that is good for you and tastes good too!!

 a guy at work who is tired of paying so much for his blood measure meds that he has started to read this book and put some of the stuff in to practice as well. well he has lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks. he says his heels don't hurt as bad too.  he says he can't wait to go to the dr.
the information in this book could save your life or the life of someone you love. please don't buy this to nag someone about this.

I read this book because I have insulin dependent diabetes and low thyroid (hashimotos disease) both autoimmune diseases. Both are tied to celiac disease. After cutting gluten from my diet my blood sugar avg per day dropped 90 pts. Huge difference! And while I am still in the first week, I see this as a huge game changer as a person with diabetes.

This small book helped me further understand the ins and outs of food planning for my husband's recently diagnosed diabetes.  Combining the food choices with exercise and practical life choices can go a long way to leading a normal, healthy life.

I can't say enough about this book.  It has helped me to understand and control my blood sugars  I have read cover to cover and keep going back for reference.  It made me better understand about how to utilize the glycemic index to make better food choices and thus lower my blood sugars, that were previously out of control.  By using the information it contained, I worked myself off insulin and was able to rely on oral medications instead (I absolutely hate shots).  I did this under my doctors supervision, and he was highly impressed with the knowledge I had gained from reading and applying the principles in this book.

When my fasting glucose level got up to 114, I became alarmed and decided to do something about it, but what?  The title of the book got my attention since I certainly had far too much belly.  After ten months following this plan, there is mostly good news, but I cannot say that the weight has miraculously dropped off as others have indicated.  Yes, I have lost 25 pounds and have gone from size 38 pants to 36.  I look better and feel better.  However, I was expecting a more significant weight loss, but I guess I need to be patient.  Good news:  my glucose level dropped to 99 after six months.  While my doctor was pleased, I think lower would be better.  I am due for another blood test in Sept. and will see then where I am at.  Meanwhile, I continue to follow the program and I have eliminated all gluten from my diet with the exception that I have had Einkorn pasta a few times, but Dr. Davis points out that this pasta is okay.  People have asked me how I lost the weight and when I've told them, they have invariably said, "oh I couldn't do that.  I would miss the bread too much."  I thought that too before I began eliminating wheat and after a few days, I never missed it.  I have since eliminated or cut back on other grains as well.  I do coat chicken with a sweet white rice flour (gluten-free) and about once every couple of months, I eat sushi.  I will also eat some fresh corn on the cob a couple of times next month, but otherwise, no grains.  Dr. Mercola's program makes sense, but I can't quite bring myself to give up coffee.  I will write an addendum to this in Sept. after I see my next blood test results.  Meanwhile, I am more healthy today than I was years ago and I look better.  Thank you, Dr. Davis.

I needed to know more about how to control my diabetes than my physician was telling me.  I found the answers in this book that explained in simple terms that made sense to me.

I'm still in my first year of the "D" diagnosis. It wasn't unexpected given my family history. We joke that it is a family legacy thing. Joking aside and expectations helping to curb the disappointment on diagnosis, it is still an adjustment. The first 6 months, I did great. I managed my new dietary goals and lost weight. I still have weight to lose but around the 6 month mark, I started feeling off again as if what I was eating wasn't enough. It wasn't that I craved the foods that I used to eat. I just didn't feel as good. Lower energy, hungry at odd times, a few dizzy spells even though I was eating about the same amount as before.

That's why I got this book. It took me back to the basics and re-think what my expectations are and what I need to adjust. It does it in plain, understandable text so I feel like the advice is actionable and relate-able. The week to week format helps me to slow down the reading so that I take it week by week to incorporate what I'm learning before I move to the next topic.

I love this book and it has helped me re-orient my goals in how I'm managing my diabetes and my weight loss goals.

I learned quite a bit from this book. Some of it was easy to understand. Some of it I will need to read again. I will say that if I lived in the same state I would make an appointment with him. I changed meters since reading this book. I was eating some things that after reading this book I stopped eating & some things that I didn't think I could eat I am now eating. Because the Dr himself is a diabetic I trust his advice.

I just felt compelled to write a review concerning this book.  I have type 2 diabetes and found this book to be very informative about my problem.  It's such an easy read starting from denial to self blame, acceptance, gaining control and many more concise chapters, all of which are very helpful.  This small book even touches on the problems with eating out at restaurants.  So at least for me, I am very glad I purchased this reasonably priced book.  For the money, it's quite a bargain.
