Gretchen Becker used to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1996; over the last twenty years, she has educated herself on each aspect of the condition by reading medical texts and journals, talking with doctors, and corresponding with others who have type 2, sharing the whole lot she’s learned in a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide. Now in its third edition, The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes takes you through the whole lot you want to be told and do in your first year with diabetes, offering the most up-to-date information on new medications and supplements. In clear and accessible language, Becker covers quite a lot of practical, medical, and way of life issues, including:

Choosing the diet that is best for you
The role of exercise in diabetes management
Daily blood glucose testing routines
Insurance issues

And much more
