The Basics describes why it is key to avoid diabetes at a much earlier stage than that of pre-diabetes. In simple terms the author helps the reader understand the natural progression of disease in general. Statistical data in a ‘not so boring way’ and a brief summary description of the various forms of diabetes follow.

Figuring Out Your Risk is laid out as a workbook. “To Prevent is to Know the Risks” guides the reader through 54 illnesses and conditions known to carry the increased risk of a future with diabetes. Who would have thought that even Carpal Tunnel Syndrome might figure on that list? Following each individual disease description the author inserted a page containing a numbered “FACT Summary” (FACT for Favor, Avoid, Consult, Test). This box points out the most important dos and no-dos. The remainder of that page contains a form for the reader to pencil in personal observations and notes “Your Personal Notes.”

Diabetes can be Controlled helps the reader through the process of “Making Positive Lifestyle Choices.” From creating an understanding for the reasons of a possible lack of motivation to demonstrating the importance of avoiding triggers these chapters prepare the reader for making the necessary shifts of thinking. Part three really is the heart of the book. It helps the reader understand how seemingly unrelated conditions can interact and find their root causes in issues such as wrong food choices that lead to inflammation and mineral deficiencies. For this reason the author completes this section with an in-depth description of the most commonly lacking minerals (an important underlying cause of disease) and the foods that provide them naturally.

It ends with a one-page list of “Final Recommendations.” A thorough Bibliography and listing of relevant research articles gives the reader so inclined further materials to follow up on. “At Risk?” closes with an intuitive and detailed Index.
