Customer Reviews

An extremely helpful book

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and went looking for advise everywhere, including online. Of all the books listed, this one intrigued me enough to buy it and I am so happy with it. It's written in the calmest, clearest most helpful way. I got more information I could actually use in this book than from any other source. Other books are either too academic or dense or filled with jargon. This tells you what you need. I raised some points here with my doctor, and he addressed them. I wouldn't have thought of asking those questions if it hadn't been for Hetzel's book.
