Pre-diabetes: your first warning!

200 million Americans are at risk for diabetes thanks to modern lifestyle and genetic makeup that nearly guarantee they will contract the disease - and doctors don't always prescribe the best treatment for it. DIABETES DANGER: WHAT 200 MILLION AMERICANS AT RISK NEED TO KNOW surveys the danger, addressing symptoms of pre-diabetes, considering problems before and after diagnosis, and showing how to get the most out of exercise and medicine. The idea is to both prevent it and control it: DIABETES DANGER helps with both.

The Doctor Is In

In touch with reality, that is. And the reality is that diabetes is on the rise -- unnecessarily! The consequences to the individual, the family, the nation are staggering. But Dr. Bortz offers solutions that you cannot afford to ignore. When you tackle the problem of diabetes, you'll see short-term gains in vitality (and losing that weight is a real pick-me-up for your vanity as well). You'll have long-term benefits that include being able to really enjoy the rest of your life. Straight talk about diabetes -- straight talk about how you can change things -- a don't miss it read!

Perhaps the Healthiest Book You'll Ever Read

As a book marketing expert, I read lot of books, and often give a new title just a quick skim before deciding what advice to give. I usually don't get very impressed with any one book. However, when I received this book before publication, my "skim" turned into a complete reading in one session.. A powerful three hours that completely changed my life. The Diabetes Danger is real. This book explains diabetes better than anything I've seen, and then show you how 200 million Americans are AT RISK from our current lifestyles. Especially powerful to me was one study where men in my age group were told to "eat right and exercise". I was thinking "yeah right.. that'll never work".. but just trying, they cut the incident of becoming diabetic more than any program or 'doing nothing' Finishing the book. I was a changed man. I knew I couldn't avoid my pre-diabetic condition any longer. I started avoiding sugar, and have done more exercise in the past month than at any time in my life (still not much). The result for me was outstanding. 33 pounds of weight fell off in 7 weeks, I had to buy smaller sized clothes for the first time in my life. More important I FEEL GREAT. If I get the urge for candy, I think of the studies.. and how diabetes can shorten my life. It's just not worth it. I have a bottle of water and move on. I'm no health fanatic..just an average guy who read one great book and paid attention. Thank you Dr. Bortz for my new life. I'm buying a copy for each of my family members and others that I care about, and encourage you do the same.
