Editorial Review:
Gretchen Becker was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1996. Since then she has educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition--by reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors, using the Internet to communicate daily with other people who have diabetes, and by listening to her own body. Now, as a 'patient-expert,' she guides all those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with diabetes. In a unique format, The First Year--Type 2 Diabetes walks you through everything you need to learn and do each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and each subsequent month of The First Year.

- LEARNING ABOUT TYPE 2 DIABETIESThis book has answered so many questions I had and answers for questions I didn't have. Greatest book I bought for learning about how to take care of myself and why I feel the way I do. Why I am hungry all the time. Why I crave sweets. Why I feel tired all the time and more. Great buy. You won't be dissappointed.

I have been climbing the scale toward that status for two years, and my promises to my old doc to change my diet and lose weight and get more exercise have not panned out in significant measure. Whether this means that before May 1st I will be sticking my finger and measuring my blood glucose at home or not, ... Read More

- Very informative This is the best book I've seen on type 2 diabetes. I ordered several this is the only one that answered most of my questions. It is always good to hear from a person who has "been there done that" She divides her information in an orderly easy to understand fashion. This is the book for the totally bewildered who has just been diagnosed and can't find the straight story.

- Interesting and not what I expected.This book was not what I expected, but I really enjoyed it, however there are a few concerns with this book.
First there are inconsistencies within the book that are concerning. Some times she says one thing then states the opposite which can be confusing. I know she does not want to diagnose or give advice that might seem medical, but the reader can get confused.
I did not like how she often repeated information for the sake of a chapter. She mentioned certain topics ... Read More
