Good info, narrator drove me nuts

If you could sum up Diabetes without Drugs in three words, what would they be?

Vital health information

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a - this is a medical book without leading characters.

What didn’t you like about Jo Anna Perrin’s performance?

Narrator has a high pitched voice and speaks in an unnatural cadence. Her slow pacing and odd inflections make her narration sound like she is reading a book to kindergartners. I did not finish the book because the narration was too irritating.

I regret not finishing it, because the author's content is valuable to me... I may end up buying it in book form instead. Perhaps Amazon would let me exchange the audiobook for the Kindle book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

not applicable - it would be a documentary.

Any additional comments?

Sometimes I wonder why people choose the narrators that they do.

Real help for diabetics - be sure to see the PDF

This is a great resource for anyone with diabetes. Suzy Cohen discusses the disease, itself, diet, nutrition, exercise, supplements, medications, interactions, and recipes. She is a pharmacist, so she brings a unique perspective to the topic that is rarely offered in other books as most are written by doctors. The pharmaceutical background adds a lot to the discussion of various medications and supplements.

Jo Anna Perrin narrated the book well. There is a long PDF document that comes with the purchase of the audiobook, and it contains a vast amount of information. This is one of those books that would normally require either extensive note taking or the hard copy of the book to really get a good grasp on a lot of the topics, but the PDF makes it possible to listen to the narration and print the material you would need to review. That said, I have the hard copy, myself, and for the sheer amount of material covered in this work, I'm glad that I do.

I was impressed that the author covered the use of teas, which is a topic often ignored in discussions about supplements. I was also impressed that she continued to exhort her audience to make their physicians aware of the supplements that they take as they have pharmacological effects and can interfere with their prescription or over-the-counter medications. She was very open-minded about prescription medications and vitamins and supplements, but she was not without criticisms. I found the book to be particularly well-rounded in its approach various treatments for diabetes.

I will be using this book again, for reference purposes, and I will probably listen to the audiobook every so often as a refresher. It was well worth the credit for the life-saving, well-researched, and well-presented information.

A Definite Step to Take

All in all, there's a lot of good information. That said, the author is still preaching her low-fat mantra. Hopefully, a revised edition will come out shortly.

Doctors maintain us on their drugs without a cure. With diet exercise and good supplements you can live a very different life. Declare war on diabetes and use this book as a battle plan.

Supplements, supplements and more supplements

The book can be listened to rather than read, but it obviously makes it harder to skip sections. The author does a very good job at explaining the processes within the body such as what diabetes is and such. The book is even relevant to somebody without diabetes and just wants to know about how parts of the body works.

The author is really into supplements, herbs, and vitamins and such and explains how the body uses them and seems to recommend over a hundred.

I'm not too keen on supplements and am more interested in diet. I only listened to half the book and just got tired of listening to more and more about supplements.

I'm not completely bad mouthing this book and it definitely could be useful to someone with diabetes. I'm extremely leery of studies based on sample sizes of 30 or less people which she sites multiple times. I did learn a lot about how the body and its organs work and the book (the half I read) is worth it for that.

Real Preachy, Sounds like a lecture from Mom.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Don;t like tone.

What was most disappointing about Suzy Cohen’s story?

Could not get the useable information I needed to make my own choices.

How could the performance have been better?

Less like Sunday School.

Any additional comments?

Do Not Recommend This one.
