"As a diabetes "newbie" (just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago), I decided I'd better learn all I could while waiting for my appointment with the booked-weeks-in-advance endocrinologist. I ordered both "Blood Sugar 101" and Dr. Bernstein's book. Both are jam-packed with information, but Dr. Bernstein left me feeling a bit overwhelmed, and also scared of what would happen if I couldn't follow his program to the letter.
Jenny's book, on the other hand, made me feel like "I can do this". It is clearly written and provides a step-by-step program for getting one's blood sugar under control. Best of all, I can sit down and read it without suffering a panic attack. Highly recommended for the newly diagnosed, or anyone wanting to learn more about this disease. "

"Book is organized in a question and answer format which I find helpful. I liked it so well I bought a copy for my sister whose husband has type 2 diabetes as well.
The book is by a diabetic who has a website and includes more than the general information and answered some of my questions.
Doctors and diabetes educators don't have time for you so you really need to buy books.
Another book I liked is Sugar Coating Diabetes which critiques a lot of information out there and especially the pharmaceutical industry which does not pull bad drugs. I buy a lot of the suggestions that come up when I make a purchase on Amazon. I also recommend Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution which is much more comprehensive. I learned about that book on a diabetic web page.

"Blood Sugar 101: What They Don't Tell You About Diabetes
Over the past several years I have sent many people to Jenny Ruhl's Bloodsugar101 website. Now a lot of that information is available offline in this book. No medical professional has ever taught me more about blood glucose control than Jenny's site. Did you know ravenous hunger is a symptom of wide blood sugar swings? If my last doctor had told me this 15 years ago I might never have gained that last 100 pounds or gotten diabetes.
