Advance praise for Stop Prediabetes Now
“As usual, Jack Challem has brought us a book right on target and ahead of the health curve. This surprising, unbiased book tells the truth about a condition that has clearly become a hidden epidemic in this country. Stop Prediabetes Now is one of the most important books to be published in a very long time.”

I have read most of Jack Challem’s books, and this latest on how to avoid diabetes is by far his best effort. It should really be treated as a manual, as the book provides lessons on getting and maintaining normal blood sugar and avoiding diabetes. However, the ease of reading and understanding the profound, yet simple to follow guidelines, reads more like a great book. My family has an extensive history of diabetics, and three of my siblings have it. My mother passed away in my arms, before she would have needed to leave this earth, due to diabetes..She had several surgeries on her feet, removing toes, and part of her feet, and she was blind at the end. I do not want to have to die this way…Thanks to the information in this awesome book, I have already lowered my fasting blood sugars from 94, to a normal range of 81 within a couple of weeks. I monitor my blood sugar follow simple eating and exercise habits outlined in easy to follow guidelines and have never felt better.

There are several good books for diabetics, and several more for people interested in a more natural diet. This is one of the few books, perhaps the only current book, specifically focused on prediabetes. That’s important for people like me who found themselves to be prediabetic with no idea of what that word meant, and no outward signs that diabetes was a real threat. The book is smoothly written, clearly organized, and educational without being pedantic or academic. It’s also very easy to integrate with diets like South Beach, the Abs Diet, and the slow-and-natural approach Michael Pollan advocates in In Defense of Food. If you’re already trying to live a healthier lifestyle, this book will help you easily modify your life to accommodate your concerns about prediabetes. If you’re just starting to learn about prediabetes and healthier options, this book is the place to begin. The authors claim that within just a couple of days of implementing changes you’ll feel significantly better. I found that to be absolutely true and three months later it remains true. I would have paid $10,000 or more for that just three months ago, so the book has been a steal.

I was recently diagnosed with high blood sugar by my doctor and this book has all the information I needed regarding foods to eat, foods to avoid and suggestions on diet, good recipes, supplements and gives breakdowns on good and bad fruits and carbohydrates. It is organized well and has lots of information. I got exactly what I needed and would highly recommend it to anyone with questions on what they should eat and do with prediabetes.

I am a health editor for a diabetes information company and this book and its authors are essentially the gold standard for information on this topic. You will not find a better source of information, advice, and explanation on this epidemic that threatens the health of what is fast becoming the majority of people in our country. I highly recommend reading this book, no matter your size, shape, or heredity.

This is an excellent book. I recommend it and his earlier book called Syndrome X to anyone with prediabetes or diabetes.
I was diagnosed as prediabetic with blood sugar at 112, triglycerides at 170, and cholesterol at 195. After following the recommendations concerning diet and exercise in this book for three months my blood sugar dropped to 101, my triglycerides to 65, my cholesterol to 176, and I lost 30 pounds going from 203 to 173 (I’m 5 foot 7 inches). I still have a ways to go to get my blood sugar down to an ideal level in the low 80s, but I am impressed with this book, its recommendations, and the results!
The only recommendations I have not followed yet are the supplement recommendations and that is because I live on a remote island in the South Pacific, but I will be ordering the supplements soon and I expect further drops in my blood sugar. My doctor (who told me that I would be diabetic in two to three years if I didn’t do something about it) was very impressed with the results and said “whatever you are doing keep doing it.” It’s really an eye-opening book and I recommend it to anyone who has problems with (pre)diabetes.
