Review

How to Beat Diabetes is the true story of the author’s determination not to become a statistic of Type II Diabetes.

Type II diabetes

There are 2 types of diabetes, being Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is the common type. In Type II diabetes, the body loses its sensitivity to insulin, causing glucose to circulate in the blood and spills into the kidneys.

Staying power

The author attributes her success to staying power. Staying power means long-term positive changes needed to achieve a goal. She said that if you do something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. I was wondering if this is true but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Exercise and diet

Exercising and losing weight with permanence intended are her prescription to beat diabetes. You need to change and stay changed.

In the process of learning how to lose weight, you also learn how to maintain normal healthy weight. If you experience some occasional lapses, do not be dejected, simply start back where you left off as soon as you can. There is no need to confine yourself to special foods; just eat sensibly. After a while your bad habits change and good eating habits take hold.
