OverviewHaving Type 2 diabetes will not kill you, but the complications that can develop from failing to manage the disease can. As few as one in ten people with Type 2 diabetes make the necessary changes in their lifestyle to keep their diabetes under control. Because of female hormonal fluctuations, blood sugar levels and insulin levels can vary more widely. As a result, the complications faced by women with diabetes can be more insidious. M Sara Rosenthal explains the range of complications associated with diabetes in the female body and focuses on stopping them before they start - naturally. What kind of complications? Everything from heart attacks, strokes, diabetic neuropathy (which can lead to the loss of nerve function from head to toe and, eventually, amputation), blindness or low vision, dental complications, kidney problems and sexual dysfunction. To combat these problems, she provides details on blood sugar management, diet, exercise, stress reduction techniques, the use of herbs and nutritional supplements and body work. Each of the chapters contains alternative approaches to dealing with a specific complication, including sections on: What to Eat (food and supplements); How to Move (exercises and body work); and Flower Power (herbs and aromatherapy).
