Unlike hundreds of other books written about managing diabetes, this one is from a perspective of managing it with the use of God’s wisdom (skill for living).
The purpose of The Way of Wisdom is to introduce fundamental principles for living from the book of Proverbs. These proverbs encourage hope, provide strength, and give motivation on a daily basis!
What is the best meal plan to feel good and maintain appropriate blood glucose levels?
This book includes information on carb counting, about feeling full while still losing weight (volumetrics), and on using the glycemic index and glycemic load for foods. The importance of the timing of when to eat and move to maintain good blood glucose levels is presented.
This book teaches how to build habits for coping with stress, moving more, losing weight and overall better health and well-being!
Such habits will provide a foundation for a positive attitude and life of gratitude that looks on the brighter side of life. Health benefits of gratitude are scientifically researched and daily applications of gratitude are embraced.
Uplifting and encouraging examples are included of real people who succeeded while facing unbelievable challenges.
Humorous, as well as heart-breaking stories, illustrate how relevant these action plans are for better well-being. Impelling guidelines based upon a step-by-step approach are taught for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes self-management!
The Way of Wisdom is written to provide motivation, not for just a day, but for a lifetime!
The strategies in this book are not just theoretical, intellectual ideas. I’ve proven these strategies are essential skills in my personal diabetes management for five decades!

What if you could reduce or avoid expensive pharmaceutical medicines, feel better, and "outsmart Diabetes" with seven "common sense" ways? What if you added ten more easy approaches to make you feel healthier? Do you struggle with diabetes to control blood sugars? I've had diabetes now for sixty years, and I know from my own experience that "it's not as easy as it looks." The first thirty years were much more complicated than the last thirty because I've learned from the "school of hard knocks," medical research and the wisdom of God how to outsmart diabetes. From my first book, "The Way of Wisdom for Diabetes," one reviewer said, "The first book that has really been helpful in my 30 year battle with diabetes." Now in this book, you will learn these seven essential ways . . . <ul> <li>Exercise after each meal,</li> <li>Eat fewer carbohydrates and more protein,</li> <li>Practice gratitude,</li> <li>Sleep well each night,</li> <li>Stay hydrated,</li> <li>Continually keep track of blood glucose,</li> <li>Take advantage of opportunities to help others.</li> </ul> This book is about making needed lifestyle changes easier using 17 wise "common sense" ways. I'm a survivor of diabetes for sixty years. For twenty-five years, I've facilitated hospital and community diabetes support groups, doing monthly educational seminars. I was awarded ten years ago, the 50-Year Medal for Diabetes Management by the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. The Joslin Diabetes Center is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. I am a participant in their medical research study of medalists, which is discovering protective factors to prevent complications in those with diabetes like kidney damage! This book applies to both those with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes because it is about lifestyle. Included in this book are the resources of God's wisdom - the Bible, medical research, and uplifting, informative stories that will motivate you to practice these approaches! By using these 17 wise ways for more than thirty years, I've maintained an A1c of 5.9 - 6.3 with only a few exceptions (like ten years ago my A1c was checked at 6.7).* The reason I mention this is to reinforce how beneficial and useful these wise "common sense" guidelines are. Start reading; healthier and happier days will be in your future! (*What should your blood glucose average be? American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists endorses 140 or less, which is an A1c of 6.5 percent or less. American Diabetes Association suggests 7.0 percent or less, which is 154 average. A normal non-diabetic A1c is considered 5.6 percent or less.)
