This book is easy to understand for someone who is newly diagnosed and needs and introduction to adopting a lifestyle change in terms of eating. The suggestions are practical. The style of writing is casual and never intimidating.
Factual -- Understandable -- Helpful

Although the book was "written down" a bit, it gave basic information that was extremely helpful and understandable. With the anxiety that comes with a "maybe you are diabetic" conversation, it provided guidelines and attitude that took some of the panic away. Would certainly recommend.
Very Interesting!

Very simple explanations & guidelines for standards of care

Phyllis Barrier has over 25 years experience as a nutritionist and diabetes educator: her background lends to Type 2 Diabetes For Beginners: an especially important guide considering that most Type 2 diabetics receive the news later in life, long after habits are established. From meal planning and pre-diabetes diagnosis and indicators to blood sugar monitoring and weight loss, chapters provide very simple explanations and guidelines for standards of care. The simple approach allows the newly diagnosed to readily understand the myriad of concerns affecting the diabetic: Type 2 Diabetes For Beginners should thus be the first self-help handbook given to the new diabetic upon diagnosis.
