On How To Manage Their Health And Their Lives
With day-by-day advice for the first twenty-eight days as well as week-by-week guidelines for the rest of the year, each chapter of YOUR FIRST YEAR WITH DIABETES focuses on helping people understand what diabetes is and the changes they need to make in order to lead a normal and healthy life. From eating a balanced diet to controlling glucose levels, from understanding the spiritual benefits of yoga to using proper footwear, Garnero explains how to manage the far-reaching effects of diabetes. She also delves into such seldom-discussed topics as sexual health and intimacy as well as the importance of joining a local support group. Below are some of the issues that Garnero addresses when people are first diagnosed with diabetes: Day 1: Mind Matters explains how to mentally approach a diagnosis of diabetes by re-framing one’s mindset. Day 2: Diagnosis: Diabetes clarifies the various types of diabetes and the physiological implications of each on the body. Day 3: Eat Wisely emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet and covers the fundamental rules of eating well. Day 4: Get Active discusses the role and value of exercise to help manage diabetes. Day 5: Check Glucose describes the different kinds of glucose tests available, how they work, and how to chose which one might be appropriate. Day 6: A Tough Pill To Swallow addresses the initial decision to take medication in order to manage diabetes and its basic role on a day-to-day basis. Day 7: Your Safety Net encourages the reader to establish a preliminary network of support people to help share the burden of diabetes. Each day or week closes with an interactive checklist that helps track one’s progress. At the end of each month, there is a review sheet for summarizing the lifestyle changes that have been successful and those that have not, thus helping readers re-focus goals and progress throughout the year. Filled with charts, illustrations, and hundreds of questions and answers, YOUR FIRST YEAR WITH DIABETES offers the comfort, inspiration and, above all, the easy-to-understand advice needed to handle and manage the realities of diabetes on a day-to-day basis.
