Adult-onset, or type 2, diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and is on the rise worldwide. In this User's Guide, nutritionist Melissa Diane Smith is clear on the cause of diabetes: the increasing consumption of highly processed and refined foods, which boost blood sugar and insulin levels. She describes a healthy, easy-to-follow diet for losing weight, stabilizing blood sugar and insulin, and reducing the risk of diabetes. She also covers stress management, physical activity and using nutritional supplements to create a total program for preventing and reversing diabetes.
