Gretchen Scalpi, R.D., CDE

about this book: This book was written to help people who have pre-diabetes learn how to manage or reverse their pre-diabetes. There is an estimated 79 million people in the United States who will be diagnosed with pre-diabetes in 2012. The numbers of people to be diagnosed in the future will likely be even higher. This is a time in our history where diabetes and pre-diabetes has reached epidemic proportions.

As a Certified Diabetes Educator, Gretchen Scalpi has worked with hundreds of people who were newly diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Her clients were very concerned and confused about how to manage their condition. Many realized that with proper treatment, pre-diabetes could possibly be reversed, but they simply didn't know where to begin.

Gretchen wrote this book to clear up the confusion, answer frequently asked questions, and help the reader take a course of action to manage their condition effectively. Readers will learn in-depth information about pre-diabetes, why it can't be ignored, what it takes to lose weight, what to eat and much, much more. Bonus materials included: pre-diabetes resource list, tips for a good nights sleep, body mass index table, emotional eating and behavior change handout, healthy foods shopping list, "Are You Hungry?" scale, and a sample walking program.

After finishing this book readers will have a solid action plan for preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes and the serious medical complications associated with it.

Meg write: "It describes in easy to understand terms the symptoms, how pre-diabetes is diagnosed, how to create a meal plan, and even how to organize your pantry!"
