Doing Diabetes Differently

“I always relied on traditional medical support during the decades I’ve had diabetes. At the end of the day, though, I needed more, because no one shared information that was not ‘approved’ or outside the traditional treatment box. Doing Diabetes Differently met my need.”

—Amber Clour, founder of Diabetes Daily Grind and host of the Real Life Diabetes Podcast

“…The greatest strength of this book is the attention provided for lifestyle, perhaps the least discussed topic when visiting a physician for routine diabetes management…When reading, it will become clear that some of Chad’s comments are controversial. This is a good thing! We will never have randomized controlled trials on each aspect of nutrition or exercise, and how much of this can be related to items also important to overall health such as anxiety, guilt, depression, and yes, even finances…Doing Diabetes Differently (and Better) will challenge the reader to think more critically of what they’ve been taught, or how they’ve been living their life with diabetes.”

—Dr. Irl Hirsch, Professor of Medicine, University of Washington

“…Chad approaches this focused book with a passion to share what he has learned. The book takes a refreshing approach aiming to challenge the reader’s assumptions about diabetes care. He clearly separates the “wheat from the chaff” with style and grace and successfully achieves his objective of helping the reader to frame good questions of their care providers. Those of us involved with diabetes care will also benefit from the reading…The author’s keen intellect and avoidance of common cognitive traps makes this an informative and insightful book. It’s a must-read!”

—Dr. Stephen W. Ponder, Professor and Joslin Medalist, Author, Sugar Surfing: How to Manage Type 1 Diabetes in a Modern World  

“While I don’t agree with all of Chad’s views, I know that you will find something in his provocative fresh insights and science- and experience-based recommendations that may kick your diabetes management into higher gear. Whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you will find something that makes you say, “That’s a great idea, I need to try that!”
