Review of Diabetic Athlete's Handbook (Paperback)

Energizing! In one word, that is how to describe this book. As a proponent of exercise for people with diabetes, I have found this book and Colberg-Ochs previous edition of it the best book out there to inspire us folks with this condition. What it is most powerful in this book is it gives real life stories and solutions to people with diabetes by people with diabetes. In our foundation, we always recommended Colberg-Ochs's Diabetic Athlete's Handbook as the "answer" book for athletes (and those who want to get active) and will continue to with this edition.

The hard reality is that we have an "epidemic" of obesity in children, the likes of which has never been seen before. Children are also getting OBESITY RELATED Diabetes and that is very, very serious...because while obesity carries its own risk factors (early onset heart disease, social rejection, etc)..diabetes can cause blindness, circulatory problems and worse.

This book is a guideline for parents who want to help their children from getting Diabetes - or to treat them if they do get it. The author means it when she writes "a take charge plan". This means parents and children can be pro-active and prevent diabetes or keep it from becoming even worse.

An absolute MUST READ for anyone with an obese child.
