Diabetes-Free Kids
A Take-Charge Plan for Preventing and Treating Type 2 Diabetes in Children
With Mary Friesz, RD, PhD; Avery,
2005
Foreword by Jerry Mathers, "The Beaver"
The onset of type 2 diabetes (formerly “adult onset”)
in the younger set was almost unheard of a decade ago, but today one in three diagnosed with type 2
is a teenager…or younger. This explosion of type 2 diabetes in our youth is frightening
to parents and health care professionals alike. This book explains why this epidemic is spreading and how
to stop it in its tracks.
Prevention and control of type 2 diabetes and its health consequences
Causes and diagnosis of obesity, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes in youth
Nutritional strategies to control body weight and reverse diabetes
Blood sugar responses to physical activity
Strategies and tips to easily increase kids’ daily
physical activity
Strategies for increasing structured and unstructured physical activity even for the most overweight
kids
Oral medications, insulin, and supplements for diabetes treatment in children
No other book focuses on both the control and prevention
of type 2 diabetes in youth and gives specific strategies
that will help diabetic and pre-diabetic children alike.
Unlike a fad diet book, this book will be an invaluable
resource for years to come in the control and prevention
of type 2 diabetes in youth.
Reviews of Diabetes-Free Kids:
”An essential book for those who want to take control
and fight back against diabetes.”
Francine Kaufman, M.D., Director of the
Comprehensive Childhood Diabetes Center
at Children’s
Hospital of Los Angeles, professor of
pediatrics at the University of Southern
California, and author of Diabesity
“As someone with diabetes and a father of
three, I am deathly afraid of where our society is going
and the implications for our future generations. Parents,
educators, society, and the media have a huge role to play
in rehabitualizing our way of life to stop the diabetes
epidemic. Diabetes-Free Kids is a great primer to teach
us what we need to know to raise a healthier generation
of Americans.”
Howard Steinberg, CEO and Founder of
dLife - For Your Diabetes Life
