Being overweight affects every system in your body – and not for the better. For people who are at risk for, or who already have type 2 diabetes, being overweight affects the body’s ability to use insulin. But here’s the good news: research has shown that losing even a small amount of weight will help the insulin your body makes be more effective. And for those at risk for developing diabetes, reducing your weight can delay or prevent it! Weight & Wellness was written to provide information and strategies to help you achieve a healthy weight and maintain it over time.
Working in conjunction with a team of experts at the Joslin Clinic and Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Richard S. Beaser, MD, and Amy Campbell, MS, RD, CDE have rewritten and updated the definitive guide to diabetes self-care — an indispensable resource for everyone with the disease and their family members.
We are pleased to announce the publication of a book that will tell you everything that is important about nutrition and meal planning for those with diabetes. Written by well-known Joslin nutritionist Amy Campbell and the staff of Joslin Diabetes Center, this book offers guidance and tips on what a meal plan should look like; carb counting; tips for cooking and baking; meal replacements and much more.
This book in Joslin’s Staying Healthy with Diabetes Series explains how physical activity can lower your blood glucose by improving your body’s ability to use both glucose and insulin. It also provides information about weight loss, managing highs and lows during physical activity, exercising when you have other physical problems and how to avoid the road blocks to fitness.
