(PRWEB) August 17, 2006 --
“Diabetes is the quintessential lifestyle disease.
But lifestyle diseases have lifestyle cures,
and the only side effects are good ones.”
- David M. Nathan, M.D., and Linda Delahanty, M.S., R.D.
From the Newsweek bylined article, “The Best Ways to Beat Diabetes”

Changes in lifestyle can help get diabetes under control or prevent the disease altogether, and Beating Diabetes: Lower Your Blood Sugar, Lose Weight, and Stop Diabetes and Its Complications in Their Tracks (McGraw-Hill; September 2006; Paper, $15.95; ISBN 0-07-147368-8) shows just how to do it! This book, now available for the first time in paperback, identifies unhealthy, diabetes-promoting behavior, and then shows readers how to make lifestyle changes to lose weight and normalize blood sugar. Aimed at people who already have Type 2 Diabetes or are at risk of developing the disease, readers will find easy-to-prepare recipes and daily meal plans along with diabetes-busting exercise routines for all ages and fitness levels.

Beating Diabetes helps identify unhealthy behaviors that could be putting you at risk!

Dr. David Nathan is a lead researcher on the landmark National Institutes of Health study that scientifically proved that diabetes can be beaten without drugs. He has been featured on “ABC News,” “CBS Evening News,” “NewsHour on PBS,” the CBC, the BBC, and in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times in relation to the groundbreaking study. His Harvard Medical School colleague Linda Delahanty is a leading international expert on nutrition and diabetes control. Together, they bring readers the first complete, medically-proven program for preventing or controlling diabetes.
