Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006Looking for a book review ...
... I got a solicitation in the mail today from Prevention for a book called "The Sugar Solution" supposedly packed with all sorts of valuable info to keep you from going diabetic. I've seen these "reports" from them before on other topics, and have actually seen some of the books. Usually, there are no astounding revelations, so I have no great expectations for this one. And since I'm already diabetic, I probably know some of what they offer (without *knowing* that I know <g>). So, has anyone seen this book yet? Should I bother getting it and returning it within their free trial period? I thought I saw references to this book in here in the past, but when I googled the group I found none. :( TIA ... > ...

Those little books are just hype. BTDT a few months ago. I do like the magazine. Used to get it many years ago and it has some excellent advice about exercise, weight management and the latest supplements that are in vogue. IOW, if you want the magazine, get it, but don't expect the miricles that are hyped in the little books.

Hi noneya:-) Yet another search for a better way? I do admire persistence, but.... A quick look at their web-site shows that it appears to be a book based on the GI, intended for those needing to lose weight rather than for diabetics. My estimation of it's value immediately drops when every link for more info takes you to a page asking for credit card details. I've still yet to see a book that gives advice half as good as starting here: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm and reading asd and mhd daily. Invest your $24.95 in test strips or up-dating to Agent 3:-) Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 2x500mg SignatureEverything in Moderation - Except Laughter. >>...

Sorry about that. >>A quick look at their web-site shows that it appears to be a >>book based on the GI, intended for those needing to lose [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Agent aint broke, so why "fix" it? <g>. Remind me - particularly after your next comment on Chung - does Forte Agent 1.91/32.564 have killfile capability? That's why. If it does, ignore the comment (and use the capability:-) I automatically kill-file and delete EVERY respondent to a chung post - and any who respond to the respondent. Sometimes it takes a while to realise someone good has disappeared and I have to search the list and re-instate them. Consequently the only real s/n ratio problem I've had is a certain thread that no longer deals with retinopathy.

I also had ng's set to "hide read messages". I had failed to check the "hide read and ignored messages". I was previously still seeing the messages, except they were grey not bold subject lines. |
