The Way of Wisdom for Diabetes: Cope with Stress, Move More, Lose Weight and Keep Hope Alive (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478262305)

I've had diabetes for sixty years, and I can tell you from personal experience managing diabetes is not as easy as it looks. Today, we have more resources available for managing diabetes than ever before, so to bolster your attitude to take advantage of the resources read this book! You will learn about the discovery of insulin by Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best. You will learn of the exciting stories of how insulin saved young people like James Havens (the first American to receive insulin), Elizabeth Hughes, and Teddy Ryder. They overcame unbelievable challenges and went on to live exceptional lives.
Impelling guidelines based upon a step-by-step approach are taught for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes self-management! Also, humorous and heart-breaking stories illustrate how relevant these action strategies are for better well-being.
Unlike hundreds of other books about managing diabetes, this one is from a perspective of handling it by using God's wisdom (the skill for living).The purpose of The Way of Wisdom is to introduce fundamental principles for living from the book of Proverbs. These principles can encourage hope, provide strength, and give motivation daily!
What is the best meal plan to feel good and maintain appropriate blood glucose levels? This book includes information on carb counting, feeling full while still losing weight (volumetrics), and using the glycemic index and glycemic load for foods. Easy to understand strategies show the importance of the timing of when to eat and move to maintain healthy, normal blood glucose levels.
This book teaches how to build habits for coping with stress, moving more, losing weight, and overall better health and well-being! Developing these habits will provide a foundation for a positive attitude and a life of gratitude that looks on the brighter side of life. You will discover from scientific research the benefits of gratitude like being more compliant with meal planning, reducing stress, moving more, and being optimistic. God's wisdom will reinforce a step-by-step approach to daily look on the brighter side of life.
The Way of Wisdom provides the tools for motivation, not just for a day but also for a lifetime! The strategies in this book are not just theoretical, intellectual ideas. I've proven these strategies are essential skills in my diabetes management for six decades!
