Overcoming Runnaway Blood Sugar
Review Date: July 4, 2009
Reviewer: John Townsendiii, Fichburg, Ma
I have been a diabetic for almost ten years. This book gives you the low down on what can drive blood sugars wild. I refer to it often and have read through two times. I have given to friends that are diabetic or close to being a diabetic. They have started to live this way and their sugars are coming into line where they need to be.
The most honest book I've found for diabetics!

I have spent a ton of money on books and magazines for diabetics, but this is the first one that is truly useful to me. Sometimes, the author's "tell it like it is" approach hurts and seems harsh, but he tells us what we NEED to hear, not just what we WANT to hear. The fact is, if we want to get our blood sugar under control and avoid the consequences of diabetes, we have to accept the fact that there are some foods that we MUST learn to live without. We can't continue to play games; we fool nobody but ourselves when we try. We certainly don't fool our bodies. It doesn't sound easy, but he explains what he has learned himself, what he does, and why it needs to be done that way. He doesn't just tell us we have to give things up without telling us how to compensate for those diet deletions. He tells us how to live a satisfying life without all the refined carb foods we crave. (Would we rather have that piece of cake or our legs?) Then, it's up to us how to work the information he shares into our own lives. I'm very grateful to Dennis Pollock for sharing his experiences by writing this book. I plan to use it to get my own runaway blood sugar finally under control and I highly recommend it to other diabetics who haven't gotten their blood sugar under control yet. Following his methods, it finally seems doable that we can get our sugar under control and, at the same time, live a happy, normal life without feeling deprived all the time.

98% of this I knew, but it has been through trial and error, the reason's behind the reactions were a great confirmation. The point of ill health this month that prompted me to purchase the book was even knowing 98% I was not sure what was happening and the Dr could not tell me, was the increase in beans in my diet to increase the fiber. Little did I know that it was a trigger.
Overall good information in spite of the sermon.
This is a good supplemental book on handling the blood sugar issue!

If you were only going to read one book on the subject, I would probably say look at Amazon's ratings. There are some very informative ones at the top. This book fits the bill as additional reading and provision of comfort that Type II diabetes can be controlled with a modified life style and some discipline. Mr. Pollock shares his faith and some verses as well as the lifestyle changes which worked for him. For the upbeat message alone, I found the book useful! I wish he emphasized a little bit more activity - but otherwise, I think the book is dead on.
All the best,
Jay

Reviewer: Michelle Polk, Mississippi, USA
A great resource to have when reading about blood sugar problems. Very informative. It is pretty basic and doesn't go extremely deep. I like it because it doesn't give a whole lot of technical mumbo jumbo. I can easily understand the dialog AND keep up.
