Synopsis

Want to succeed managing your diabetes? Now you can. Diabetes Do's & How-To's is the quintessential "owner's manual" for those with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Here are the small, yet powerful steps to live healthfully with diabetes -- and guidance how to take them. This book isn't about diabetes, it's an instruction manual for, simply and quickly, creating your best health. Riva Greenberg, a diabetes educator and patient who's had diabetes for forty years, clears up the confusion, stops the overwhelm, and with a team of top diabetes experts, guides you through 65 steps to improve how you deal with food and eat healthy, bring your weight within a normal range if necessary, begin or accelerate your fitness and enjoy it, manage your medicines, lab tests and doctor visits, progress while staying positive, and so much more. Worksheets help you start new goals, fellow patients share personal "How-To's," and Haidee S. Merritt's cartoons put a smile on your face. A section is also dedicated to health care professionals to help you further help your patients succeed.

À propos de l?auteur

Riva Greenberg is a recognized diabetes patient-expert, author, speaker and health coach, who has lived successfully with type 1 diabetes for more than forty years. Her latest book, "Diabetes Do's & How-To's," came from traveling the country as a peer-mentor, talking with patients and seeing how confused and bereft they are of the actions to take - and how to take them - to live a full, rich, healthy and happy life with diabetes. Riva is a trusted KOL for pharmaceutical companies bringing the patient voice to health care, and an international speaker at diabetes conferences, health expos, hospitals and corporations. She is also transforming the way we live with chronic illness through workshops she conducts on "flourishing." "It is time flourishing enters the language of living with a chronic illness." Riva also advises medical professionals on helping patients make behavior changes through a series of presentations called "Ask the Patient" on QuantiaMD.com. Author of "50 Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life and the 50 Diabetes Truths That Can Save It" and "The ABCs Of Loving Yourself With Diabetes," Riva also writes a column on diabetes and health on The Huffington Post. In 2011, SharecareNow cited Riva as number six among the Top Ten online diabetes influencers. Riva is an advisory member of the Diabetes Hands Foundation and a member of the American Association of Diabetes Educators and Diabetes Advocates.
