Imagine controlling—avoiding—reversing!—the "health hazard of the 21st century" (World Health Organization), the disease that afflicts nearly 26 million Americans and is an imminent threat to an additional 80 million adults and children. That's exactly the promise of The Diabetes Reset by Dr. George King, research director and chief science officer at Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center, the world's largest and most respected diabetes research center, synonymous with revolutionizing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diabetes.
Based on the most cutting-edge research—including the groundbreaking discovery of brown fat in adults and its role in burning calories and enhancing the effects of the body's own insulin—The Diabetes Reset translates the latest findings into a plan that will let readers avoid, control, and even reverse type 2 diabetes. The program begins with losing weight—and shows why losing only 5% of body weight makes a life-changing difference. It explains how a good's night sleep can significantly lower blood glucose levels (and why sleep deprivation works in reverse). It disentangles the carbohydrate confusion, reveals how to decrease the body's inflammatory response, and explains the importance of moderate exercise. There are eight strategies in all—if you implement only one, your type 2 diabetes will improve. Pursue all eight of them, and you can stop type 2 diabetes in its tracks. You can even reverse it—effectively resetting your body's glucose metabolism for a long, healthy life.

      Millions of Americans have Type 2 diabetes, or are in danger of developing it. In this title, King (Joslin Diabetes Ctr.) states that "No two cases of Type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are alike." With this in mind, the author offers a wide range of strategies for preventing the onset of the illness or managing one's health once a diagnosis is made. King provides a series of promises at the outset of the book that, depending on the patient's stage of development, include restoring glucose sensitivity to normal, avoiding the need for medication, and even "resetting" the need for medication at all. The language is careful to include qualifiers like "may allow you to reset" but the focus seems to be on how any healthy change is a good one. Part 1 supplies eight strategies for the "Diabetes Reset Toolbox," including the "Rural Asian Diet," burning calories, and reducing stress. Part 2 shares a week-by-week plan for implementing the strategies outlined in Part 1. VERDICT While the promise of a "reset" may set off some red flags for skeptics, readers searching for a hopeful look at life with Type 2 diabetes or a step-by-step guide to making lifestyle changes will be attracted to this book.--Mindy Rhiger, Minneapolis
