About this listen

Take a journey into your condition and explore modern options for managing Type 2 diabetes.

Did you know that Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States?

Or that the CDC estimates that about 88 million Americans have prediabetes—a condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes?

Living with diabetes can feel like walking a tightrope. One misstep, and you can come crashing down, facing a range of life-threatening complications. From the constant monitoring of blood sugar levels to the pressure of making healthy food choices and losing weight, diabetes can feel overwhelming.

Picture it: You're at a party, surrounded by tempting treats and sugary drinks…but you know that this will send your blood sugar soaring.

Or perhaps you're at work, with deadlines looming and your stress rising. Your blood sugar levels begin to rise, and you find yourself struggling to stay focused and productive.

But there is hope!

With the right guidance and support, diabetes management can be a well-choreographed dance. By making healthy choices and staying on top of your care, living with diabetes doesn’t have to get in the way of your life.

With this essential guide by your side, you’ll be able to:

  • Remove the stress and anxiety you feel from constantly monitoring blood sugar levels
  • Access simple ways in which you can begin exercising regularly—and understand why this is crucial
  • Find that special balance between the demands of work, your lifestyle, and your health
  • Discover effective coping strategies to help you deal with the emotional toll of living with a chronic illness
  • Explore and understand modern advice and guidance for living with type 2 diabetes
  • Challenge and respond to people who don’t understand living with diabetes
  • Find realistic ways to manage the costs of diabetes medications and healthcare—so you don’t have to worry about your wallet on top of everything else
  • Engage and interact with healthcare professionals to get personalized guidance that is relevant to you
  • Understand the impact of diabetes on your mental health and well-being—and know exactly what you can do to protect both
  • Deal with the physical and emotional pain of managing diabetes-related complications
  • Find the best ways to maintain healthy habits in the face of social pressure and temptation
  • And much more.

If you’re living with diabetes, you already know something about it…but this book offers you a comprehensive guide that covers the essential guidance and strategies you may not have considered.

Based on the latest medical guidance, yet accessible and easy to understand (and with practical advice you can implement immediately), this guide is organized in digestible sections that can be listened to in small increments—making it easy to fit into your busy life.

With this supportive and empowering resource by your side, you’ll be ready to take back control of your future health and well-being—and never look back.

This is Invaluable Resource!

This is great! It is really beneficial for some who have diabetes, especially type 2. Even if you don't have it, it is also good to know and understand about type 2 diabetes and how to prevent it. The best part is that I think it will help reduce medical expenses and visits to the doctor because the book not only provides knowledge about Type 2 but also offers strategies and realistic actionable steps to incorporate into daily life to help avoid complications, reduce expenses, and live a healthy life. Very educational! Highly recommended!!!

A COMPLETE, comprehensive guide for DMII

"Understanding Type 2 Diabetes" is your one stop shop for diabetes education and management. The authors pharmaceutical background is expertly portrayed by the content of this guide. The disease process of DMII is well explained, the treatment options are thoroughly presented (especially the medication sections), and patient advocacy and independence is greatly emphasized. Although this is a vast amount of medical terminology, the author did a great job of explaining numerous terms and even provided a handy glossary in the end. What stood out the most for me was the emphasis on how DMII can be controlled by diet regimens and regular exercise, rather than just by medications. A healthy lifestyle is so important and can really help individuals take full control of their health rather than be controlled by their own diseases. This book is a must-read/must-listen for anyone struggling with diabetes type II!

This book is an important read for Type 2 patients

When I was diagnosed with Type 2, initially pre-diabetes, I had no idea how to react. I only knew that I got this way from being a sugar-holic. I tried to eat less sugar in the form of candy and sugary desserts. Though I became conscious of the problem, it was not effective to try to eat less sugar. After a while, I would drift back. Then, I found that my entire diet was contributing to my high blood sugar. Eventually, I was put on Metformin, then more Metformin. About a year ago, I put my foot down and drastically changed my diet, and got a CGM diagnosed by my doctor. In 3 months, I lost 25 lbs. My A1C went from 7.2 to 6.1. My doctor was elated! If I had only had this book earlier, I would have known of the complexity of this disease. I highly recommend buying this book and taking what Dr. Sullivan says to heart. It just might save that heart and even your vision. Great book to get you on the right track!

Wonderful information!

Dr. Ashley does a wonderful job explaining diabetes and the effects on the body. Her information is spot on. The book continues with various ways to control your diabetes after reviewing the signs. The narration is engaging as well. I highly recommend listening and learning before you are diagnosed to hopefully avoid living with the disease. I got the book because my husband has diabetes. I wanted to learn from a professional in order to help him regulate his system. It has been a blessing!

A Lifesaver.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to "Understanding Type 2 Diabetes" by Dr. Ashley Sullivan, narrated by Pam Hurley. Dr. Sullivan breaks down complex medical information into simple, easy-to-understand steps and also provides actionable steps to avoid complications, reduce medical expenses, and live a healthier, more proactive life. The emphasis on stress reduction is particularly helpful, considering how stress can impact overall well-being. She not only highlights the often underestimated connection between stress and diabetes but also offers tangible, easy-to-implement strategies for stress reduction. As someone who has a loved one diagnosed with diabetes type 2 this book was really helpful. Highly recommended!

A Lifesaver's Guide to Thrive with Type 2 Diabetes

"Understanding Type 2 Diabetes" is an invaluable audiobook that shines a bright light on this prevalent health condition. I personally do not suffer from it, but have a family member who does. I wanted to listen to see if I could gather more information to help support this family member, and this audiobook did not disappoint in that regard! Dr. Ashley is the “real deal”, she certainly has enough letters after her name to be trustworthy on this topic (haha) and through her writing, really taught me several new things about diabetes in the book. I hope my cousin can find the path to a healthier, happier life. This book will be shared for sure.
