Very informative book
I just found out I was prediabetic and ordered this book. I couldn't have asked for a more informative and helpful book. It answered all my questions, and I would highly recommend this to everyone with questions about prediabetes and diabetes. It fully explains the glycemic index with examples.

Simple and useful ( ecaruthers )
I'm newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I bought this and another book after checking the web for diet guidlines and mostly finding "eat healthy" or "buy my pills." The most helpful parts of this book for me are
Diet - Remember serving size. A high glycemic index isn't bad if the serving size is small. This is the difference between glycemic load (what a serving will do to your blood glucose) and glycemic index (what a 'standard ammount' would do). And a little sugar is o.k. (I eat 1-2 Dove dark chocolate pieces after dinner.)
Exercise - Maximum improvement using insulin to process blood glucose with minimum perceived effort comes from walking 40 minutes every other day.
It's been 6 weeks since I started taking meds and about a month since I started following the exercise and diet suggestions. All my blood glucose readings for the last two weeks have been under 125.

 Revised and Improved ( kpg5233 )
Expanded and improved. Information and recipes are improved in scope. Wish more data on common US brands were available. [...] I have usewd this diet for 7 years with excellent chemical and well-being improvement.

The New Glucose Revolution for Diabetes
Being newly diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetic, this was the most helpful reference I found. I highly recommend it to all. It is also great if you are trying to lose weight using the Adkins or South Beach diet but having problems. This solves them all!

Diabetes - without the industry message
There are too many sources on diabetes that accept the American diet as a given, and just try to get you to tweak it at the edges. Too many organizations like the ADA, that want members dues, sell their products to make money, and take funds from the food industry that is busy destroying Americans' health. Too many "experts" who won't go the extra mile to change our eating habits.
These Aussies who wrote this book are for real. Sure, they accept that diabetics, like all of use, eat some stuff that is not great. But they go the extra mile, and make sure that vegetarian and vegan eating are part of the discussion. It's not just about portions; it's about the right stuff, in proportion. And they make the science of their wisdom very accessible.
It is a must-read for diabetics, and a must-read for all Americans slowly being poisoned by a diet of mammoth hamburgers, greasy fries, and globs of ice cream.
