Eating Right for Type 2 Diabetes: a Christian Perspective on a Traumatic Disease Desmond Ford

In a world where diabetes was once a rarity, it has now become an epidemic and at the present rate of increase it will become pandemic later in this century, affecting half the families of earth. Present therapies leave much to be desired. The use of diabetic pills is fraught with dangers and even insulin has its downside. Many can pursue a better approach by knowledge and discipline. Right diet and adequate exercise are the best keys to the control of diabetes. Inevitably, diabetes brings rigors and stresses that can threaten to be overwhelming. Often the sufferer is plunged into depression. In this battle, Christians can be "more than conquerors," trusting in the One whose name is Love and whose absolute sovereignty extends even to a sparrow's fall. This book gives counsel regarding the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of successful diabetic therapy and life-style changes. It can bring untold relief to many.
