Diabetes Symptoms Guide Review
Product name: Diabetes Symptoms Guide
Author: Gary Sanders
Gary Sanders is diabetic. He makes the bold claim that his e-book is the best resource on the Internet to expose, explore, and manage diabetes; and that any questions or concern you have ever had will finally be answered. Mr Sanders says that after almost 10 years of continuing education in diabetes he is an expert on Type I, Type II, and gestational diabetes. This offered the prospect of a highly informative book written from the unique perspective of a sufferer.
From his claims of expertise I was expecting an erudite text. What Mr. Sanders presents is a clear, well written but elementary description of the different forms of diabetes and their symptoms. The chapter on preventing and managing diabetes by changing your diet is equally basic. The strength of this work is that it provides a quick overview of the subject whilst directing the reader to seek expert medical attention where appropriate. Despite the typographical error, Mr. Sanders does not intend his book to be a self-diagnosis tool.
The book is sub-titled “Your complete guide to exposing, exploring, and managing diabetes” which is an exaggeration, while its title “Diabetes Symptoms Guide” is accurate.
At only 28 pages long including the title page and written in a large typeface in double line spacing this book will appeal to those who are looking for a short, easy to read guide to the symptoms of diabetes.
Despite its brevity, the book would have benefited from having the pages numbered and a cross referenced table of contents.
To his credit, Mr. Sanders also includes a recipe book containing 500 recipes suitable for diabetics. In contrast to the book, the index of recipes is hyperlinked to the relevant recipe for easy navigation.
All the recipes use US weights and measures as well as temperature settings in degrees Fahrenheit whereas virtually the whole of the rest of the English speaking world as well as Europe use kilograms, litres and the Celsius temperature scale. A recipe book being sold on the World Wide Web ought to use both systems of measurement.
Notwithstanding the lack of metric weights and measures, the inclusion of the recipes transforms the book into a genuinely useful product offering good value for money that I can recommend.
