From page 246 "it's become clear that strict avoidance of dietary sugar is unnecessary". The same page speaks about including "refined sugar" in your diet, and having the "occasional cookie". I now tightly control my blood sugar using the method taught in Richard Bernstein's book "The Diabetes Solution". Buy Dr Bernstein's book instead, and you might be very surprised at the counter arguements to the high carb diets that have lead to the thinking that diabetics should enjoy refined sugar.
Excellent resource for quick perusal and management

I met Sherri Shafer at UCSF, and this book is an extension of the great work that UCSF does for the diabetic community. It is light reading, but detailed enough to get you started if you've been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. The focus is on explaining how Diabetes affects your body, and gives you information about how nutrition and exercise are a huge factor in managing your blood sugar. There are helpful management tips, food information, and a "detailed enough" description of foods and the properties you're looking for to manage various aspects of your diet.
It is an excellent reference to keep on the shelf as well, in order to refresh your memory when you start to slide in your management regimen. Having a resource like this helps a lot, since having Diabetes sucks, and it takes a lot of knowledge and support to keep on track.
It is also a great book for friends and family of people with Type 2, to help them understand what you're going through and help you by supporting good health and good habits. Because it is a light read, you aren't asking too much to have them read it...
Great resource book but lacks depth

If you are looking for a good book on what Type 2 diabetes is about then this book is the one for you. As a new to diabetes patient I was looking for some real tips and depth on how to manage my eating and diet. This book did not offer anything new that you could not find in other sources or the internet.
It is well laid out and written with a good beginners guide on how various food intereact with your body. It has all the basics you need to understand what is going on with your body. Also some very basic guide lines on Calorie intact and exercise.
But to call it a Complete Food Mangement Program is a bit misleading. I was expecting more indepth talks about the relation ship between meal time and blood sugars. More indepth about how exercise works in conjuction with proper eating and keeping your blood sugar lower. I realize that everyone is different in terms of what the basic needs are, but more numbers would have been nice.
A personal journey to understand and to live with the life-altering diagnosis of Diabetes. In an easy to read, non-medical format, this book gives what I learned. It contains information on diet, nutrition and exercise. It can help the newly diagnosed diabetic and their family members and even the diabetic who has been struggling for years. For the non-diabetic, they will find the information on diet and exercise helpful for weight loss and healthy living.

My husband hates when I ask him to drag out the Christmas decorations every year. It continually is a fiasco because we never store them correctly or in an organized way, and they are never in a convenient place. The Christmas decorations generally end up behind all of the summer items that were brought into the Christmas decoration storage from outside, so I usually have to set aside an entire day for him to drag everything up to the main floor.
I love Christmas decorations, which doesn’t help the situation. We have boxes and boxes full, and we’ve only had our own place to decorate for about four years. I really don’t know where all of our decorations came from but I love all of them. I know we inherited some of my grandmother’s Christmas decorations gifts, which of course are my most cherished. They may not be the most beautiful Christmas decorations, but they hold special meaning and many childhood memories so they are displayed most prominently.
Then there are the decorations that my mother purchased for us, or that his mother purchased, or even that friends and extended family purchased. We have a huge amount of lighted Christmas decorations, but they are always tastefully displayed. Now, my mother in law’s house looks like Santa threw up in it every time Christmas rolls around. She is a total craft nut, so she has countless Christmas decorations that are just scattered everywhere around the house. And I mean everywhere.
I don’t think there is one inch in that house that is not covered in red, green or gold during the holiday season. There are knitted tissue box covers, toilet seat covers, wall hangings, quilts; you name it and it is there. So many commercial Christmas décor that you can’t even distinguish where one ends and where another begins. But she loves them, so I suppose that is all that matters. Then there is my family. Hardly any decorations because they clutter the house, and they even started using an artificial tree the past few years.
There are a few poinsettias, a few spatterings of gold bows and green wreaths but nowhere near the explosion of my mother in laws home. I am now seeing that the home my husband and I have created is certainly a mixture of both of our backgrounds, melding into the perfect display of Christmas decorations. I don’t think we’d have it any other way.
