Product Description
Prediabetes is now an epidemic affecting close to 100 million Americans. In its early stages, prediabetes lowers a person's energy and mental clarity. Untreated, it turns into type 2 diabetes, which can be deadly. Along the way, prediabetes increases the risk of persistent weight problems, sleep disorders, inflammation, and mood swings. Ultimately, it predisposes people to heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Stop Prediabetes Now offers a practical step-by-step program for improving eating habits and using nutritional supplements to reverse prediabetes and related weight problems. This unique book also includes shopping instructions, meal plans, and easy-to-prepare recipes. Jack Challem, known as the Nutrition Reporter, is the lead author of the bestselling Syndrome X (0-471-39858-6) and author of The Inflammation Syndrome (0-471-47881-4), Feed Your Genes Right (0-471-77867-2) and The Food-Mood Solution (0-471-75610-5). Ronald Hunninghake, MD (Wichita, KS) is Medical Director of the Center for Human Improvement, the largest nonprofit nutritional medical center in the United States.

This book is filled with so much good information; I am anxious to finish it and start practicing what I am learning. I have not found another book that outlines so clearly what a person needs to be looking for in the blood tests, their fasting and postmeal glucose levels and what tests they should be asking their doctor for (insulin tolerance) if they are concerned about prediabetes or diabetes. My goal is to not have either one, but with 2 members of my family already type 2 and other family members overweight or obese, I know I have to do something NOW and this book has the tools for me to do it. The information on the right nutrition is also very helpful and is helping me to make better choices.

Good Book for those struggling with Pre-Diabetes

This book was very helpful for understanding pre-diabetes and knowing steps to take for changing your lifestyle. It was very readable and informative. The author includes not only many good suggestions, but goes into the medical information needed in a way that isn't overwhelming for those who are "non-medical".
