Type 2 Diabetes - Basics to Mastery

di DEAN STRATTON (Autore)

Viruti Shivan, 2025

This practical handbook explains how high blood sugar develops, why insulin resistance matters, and which daily actions reliably move numbers in the right direction. You'll learn to read labs (fasting glucose, A1C, time-in-range), build enjoyable low-glycemic meal patterns, choose movement that fits your joints and schedule, and partner with your clinician on therapies from metformin to GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors—always with safety in mind. Through simple explanations, visual frameworks, and realistic weekly plans, the book shows how many people can improve control—and sometimes reach medication-free remission under medical supervision—via sustained weight loss and habit change. It also covers complication prevention, mental health, sleep, cultural food traditions, and family support. A running case study ("Asha," 52) closes each chapter, translating science into doable steps—wins, setbacks, and course corrections included. ? Plain-language map of insulin resistance, beta-cell function, and dysglycemia ? 12-week habit program with goals, checklists, troubleshooting, and relapse recovery ? Meal-building system: plate method, carb counting, fiber targets, sample menus (veg, Mediterranean, lower-carb, South Asian) ? Activity plans for every level: walking, resistance training, HIIT alternatives, sit-less strategies ? Medication guide: indications, benefits, common side effects, hypoglycemia safety, and key questions to ask your clinician ? Monitoring toolkit: glucometers vs. CGM, target ranges, sick-day rules, travel & festival planning
