Highly recommended for EVERYONE desiring good health!

Eat Away Diabetes is extremely well researched and superbly written! Taking complex subject matter, the author uses practical explanations and analogies, thereby making diabetes much easier to understand. The information is current and extremely useful for people with Type 2 diabetes and those working to prevent this potentially devastating (but preventable) disease. Numerous charts and sidebars are used throughout which serve as excellent references in my practice as a registered dietitian. The author emphasizes the importance of exercise at length and explains the roles of fiber, fat, carbohydrates, protein, vitamin/mineral supplementation, and herbs. Ms. Napier also provides 28 days of menus and their accompanying recipes (which are healthy, creative, and tasty). This book will remain a useful resource in my professional practice and daily life! Thank you, Kristine Napier!

Easy to understand advice about diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a national epidemic. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are necessary to prevent complications (heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, blindness) in those with Type 2 diabetes and prevent the disease from occurring in those at high risk. Medical advice regarding diet often leaves patients confused and therefore unable to follow their advice. Kristine Napier defines Type II diabetes and the steps needed to control this disease in a way that is easy to understand. She provides advice and examples to help the reader incorporate her guidelines into their everyday life. Her 28 day guide of menus will help those get started and as always, Kris's recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Last, but not least of importance, is that all of Kris's advice is based on scientific evidence and conforms to national guidelines.

A book to live by

Kristine Napier is obviously an authority on diabetes as well as a nutritionist-- and we could probably cure a national epidemic (Type 2 diabetes) if we would all follow the advice in this book. But this isn't like one of those health books that preaches all kinds of impossible advice. It's filled with really simple recipes. The ones I've tried are easy to make, and taste delicious. It's food for kids as well as adults. At last, we've got a book on the kitchen shelf that we can trust completely.

Sound advice that's easy to digest

As the former editor of a national consumer health publication, I know that not many people know how to translate reams of scientific data into clear and simple language. Kris Napier has that gift, and in Eat Away Diabetes she makes excellent use of it. The opening chapters offer a clear appraisal of scientific thinking about nutrition, demolishing many fashionable ideas about what we should or shouldn't eat. She explains the concepts behind healthy eating and illustrates them with overall menu plans and 100 pages of delicious-sounding recipes. People newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes often complain that no one talks to them enough. This book provides the counseling that busy health care providers may not have time for, and does it with in the down-to-earth language of a knowledgeable friend offering advice and sharing favorite recipes over a cup of tea.

Finally, a book that tells me how to eat if I have diabetes

I am so thrilled to find a book that helps me understand diabetes, how food affects my blood sugars, and what to put on my plate each and every day. I am also excited that the menus aren't the typical sugar-free, cardboard tasting food -- they are really, really good. If you have diabetes, or someone in your family does, or you are at risk for diabete and want to prevent, you must read this book. Thank you, Kris Napier, for changing my life.
