Doing Diabetes Differently by Chad T. Lewis
1.0

Thank you to Chad T. Lewis, Greenleaf Audio, and NetGalley for providing me a copy of an eaudiobook of Doing Diabetes Differently in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I was not impressed with this book. I believe the author's thoughts on diabetes management are very extreme (which is not necessarily a bad thing) but not very realistic. As a diabetic, I understand that strict diabetes management is required to successfully counteract the effects of the disease. However, the book lays out a system that makes life unpleasant. I see many diabetics not following this method as we are human and still want some enjoyment from our food. It would be great if many diabetics would not need medications to control their diabetes but without sufficient resources, it is impossible to manage diabetes. Even in the book, the author mentions the wide variety of opposing medical advice given to patients. Also, the book does not provide a more detailed explanation on how to achieve the diabetes management indicated.
