Based on solid principles,
In general, I avoid the “diet and supplement” solutions to all health problems. Not that I don’t believe that diet and dietary supplements don’t work – rather, that I don’t have the tools to tell the crackpots from the serious researchers. This book caught my attention for several reasons:
(1) its diet is not based on the USDA recommendations but rather on the food pyramid from Harvard, Asia and the Mediterranean diets. To this it adds the 5 color fruit and vegetable recommendations and the glycemic load data.
(2)it uses scientific not ancedotal bases for its recommendations. For example, it notes that chromium has been shown to have a positive effect but only in those with a chromium deficiency.
(3)it adjusts it recommendations to fit the diabetes of an individual – type of diabetes, degree of current control of blood sugar levels and status regarding a variety of complications of the disease.
(4)it assumes that primary care is in the hands of a “conventional doctor” and may include medications, exercise and mental elements. In this context, it recommends more comprehensive monitoring of body chemicals than is the protocol for many doctors.
The overall result is a book that is well worth pursuing for what may be helpful to you as an individual as you make the life style changes necessary to live with the disease.

|Natural Medicines for Diabetes by Michael Murray,
Diabetes impacts the heart, stroke, blood pressure, classic
diabetic nerve damage and autoimmune disease. Risk factors are
aggravated by the high consumption of white sugar by Americans.
Risks can be mitigated with cod liver oil and Omega 3 fish oils.
Type I diabetes may be prevented with proper nutrition, decreased nitrates and avoidance of food allergies. Early breast-feeding is known to protect the child by promoting a healthy gut. Diabetes
may be controlled naturally with multivitamins, flavonoids and probiotics (introduction of good bacteria into the system).
Food allergies are aggravated by diarrhea, constipation, gas,
muscle and joint pain. Foods with a low glycemic index are
apples, asparagus, broccoli, celery, cucumber, grapefruit, tomato, lettuce, spinach , strawberries nuts and seeds.
Oatmeal, peas, pita bread, beans and yams have intermediate levels on the glycemic index.
This book is excellent for anyone desiring more detailed information on the various types of diabetes and sugar control.
It is a worthy purchase for any personal library.

|A lifestyle changer,
This book has changed my life. I am now acutely aware of what and how I am eating and how I am conducting my life to stay healthy and avoid escalating my pre-diabetic condition to type II diabetes. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make a change to a healthy lifestyle regardless of whether diabetes is a problem or not.
