Useless by L. Cool (Minot, ND United States)  1 Stars
July 03, 2008
This book was so generalized, it was of no value. The book is small, but none of the information was worth reading. If someone has even heard of insulin resistance, they know as much as they would get reading this book. Very disappointing.

Wonderful book on insulin resistants for beginners. Well written, and easy to understand. Buy this book if you have pre-diabetes, or diabetes. Very helpful!

Fantastic book! by Dianne Stewart (Troy, MI) 5 Stars
March 11, 2008
A great book about insulin resistance, what causes it and who has it. It's super easy to read and understand - no big medical jargon to deal with. I've bought several copies for friends and family. Everyone has enjoyed it and has gained insight as to what is attributable to their weight gain and how being insulin resistant is at least, partly responsible. Not only does it explain what insulin resistant is but explains what you can do to correct the situation and avoid the inevitable, destructive path ahead of you - a burned out pancreas and a life of diabetes - if you don't make changes in your life. Great book! I applaud the author!

I bought this for a friend who needed the information but was unlikely to read anything overly detailed. This is just what she needed to get the information.
