"What a refreshing read! KISS for Diabetes might be an alternative title that
describes this book and how people can approach their diabetes. As a healthcare

progressive disease and if you don't keep up it can easily get away from
you."
"Providing an easy to read guide that points out a few basic diagnostic tests (measure) and what those #s mean (understand), a person with minimal confidence and proficiency has a step by step guide for action (act)."
"I especially appreciated a key message on page 9, 'Learning to take care of your health is like learning to drive; with good driving skills you can successfully navigate your own road, and even take your own detours if need be. Taking control of your diabetes is therefore not a one-time deal but an ongoing program.'"
"My hope is that more people will pick up this book and
understand that diabetes is about connecting the dots and making sense of your
numbers as a reflection of where you've been, reorient yourself with that
understanding and head off in a strategic direction. This book can help any
person with diabetes to take that next step toward better control of their
diabetes."
