Description

Get Tough with Type 2 is a cutting-edge yet practical guide for newly-diagnosed and established type 2 diabetes patients and their families, by one of the UK’s leading diabetes physicians.

-        The Mediterranean approach to diet can significantly reduce cardiovascular risk

-        Managing cholesterol and blood pressure problems is at least as important as blood glucose levels

-        Minimising medication while overcoming complications is desirable and possible

-        Diabetes is closely related to depression, and other psychological issues including ‘diabetic distress’ and ‘diabetic burnout’.

Armed with this new information and the results of important clinical trials, it is more possible than ever before to Get Tough with Type 2 without the need for progressively more and more blood glucose-lowering medication.
