 Roberta Ruggio
Do's and Don'ts of Hypoglycemia: Ruggiero, founder of the Hypoglycemia Research Foundation, has written this book
for people who are in the early stages of hypoglycemia and need
introductory-level information. Ruggiero, who has hypoglycemia herself, shares
her own travails of being misdiagnosed several times. She stresses the
importance of obtaining an accurate diagnosis and receiving proper medical
treatment, explains the necessary diagnostic tests, and describes how to find a
doctor. Appendixes include a bibliography, a list of referral organizations, and
recommended foods and menus. This is a very reasonable, well-researched
presentation of a topic which has often been treated faddishly in other
publications. Recommended for public libraries.

How to Prevent & Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine: Diabetes remains among the most prevalent health issues, bringing with it an
increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Now an expert in natural
medicine and an authority on diabetes combine their knowledge to address
diabetes prevention: coping with the disease if you have been diagnosed, and
even reversing its effects. The authors provide food and supplement plans that
can help you avoid developing the illness, even if there is a family history. If
you are currently being treated for diabetes, this program is designed to help
reduce or eliminate your need for medication.

The Thyroid Diet: For more than 25
million Americans it may be, due to the metabolic slowdown of a malfunctioning
thyroid gland. The Thyroid Diet
will help many previously unsuccessful dieters get diagnosed and treated -- and
proper thyroid treatment might be all that’s needed to successfully lose
weight. Even after optimal treatment, however, weight problems plague many
thyroid patients. For those patients, The
Thyroid Diet will identify the many frustrating impediments to
weight loss, and offer solutions-both conventional and alternative -- to help.
Discussing optimal dietary changes, thyroid-damaging foods to avoid, and
metabolism-supporting herbs and supplements, it contains several different
eating plans, food lists, and a set of delicious and healthy gourmet recipes.
With handy worksheets to use in weight-loss tracking and a special resource
section featuring Web sites, books, and support groups, here is vital help for
millions..
Prediabetes: An estimated 41 million Americans have the condition identified since 2002 as
prediabetes, which, if left unchecked, inevitably will lead to full-blown
diabetes. From one of the world's leading diabetes "patient-experts," this
first-ever practical guide offers fifty essential, informative ideas and simple
steps to help this vast and rapidly growing constituency manage their condition
and thereby reduce their chances of developing full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes
clearly explains what readers can do today, no matter what their age, and
whether or not they have a family history of diabetes, a severe weight problem,
or are members of an ethnic group at high risk-including Hispanics, Native
Americans, African Americans, and Pacific Islanders. Helpful drawings and graphs
are featured throughout in this new, revised edition.
