 Good book and Useful - But needs and update October 2, 2008
Hopefully an update is on its way for this book! It is a great book but we are beyond NPH and its issues. With some of the newer longer-acting insulins, there are new techniques to try...
With the advent of the CGMS, very valuable information is available to an athlete if they can afford to buy one and/or if their insurance company covers one.
 Not what I expected October 24, 2007

This was not quite as helpful as I'd hoped. I can understand why, since there is no one answer for the challenges of managing diabetes and exercise. It listed many types of exercise and then what various diabetics might do in certain situaitons, but the end result is that you STILL have to figure it out for yourself. I guess I was looking for more guidance, and more physiological information. Still worth purchasing, and there is a new version in the works by the same author.
OK , But not exactly what I was looking for. August 26, 2007

The book was informative but not exactly what I was looking for. It was geared more for a person who was taken insulin or on a pump. I was looking for something more in line with someone on an oral medication with type-2 Diabeties. But that taken into account it was both easy to read and very informative. I'm glad I have it in my library.

My son is 12 years old and a very strong, diverse athlete. He plays ice hockey, baseball and football and is very organized and very driven. As a newly diagnosed diabetic, we have many many questions about how diabetes is going to affect his life. This book gave me many ideas and made me realize that my son is first and foremost an athlete and we will fit the diabetes into his life.
He is doing really well and told me yesterday that having diabetes isn't such a big deal. We are well into the baseball season and looking ahead to hockey. I was very nervous about handling low blood sugars, but he seems to take it all into stride.
I highly recommend this book -- it is easy and interesting to read.
Very informative, a must have book December 19, 2002

This book is divided to two parts. The first part explains the physiology of exercise and how it relates to diabetics. It includes general chapters and chapters dedicated to type 1 and type 2. The premise of the book is that knowledge is power, so knowing what the body does during an exersice is powering you to better manage your diabetes as it relates to exercise. It also has a chapter on nutritional supplements for diabetic athletes. The second half of the book deals with specific sport activities and gives advice on how to change your nutrition or insulin regimes to better accomodate for these activities plus examples from actual athletes. I found this part to be less usefull. However the book is worth its weight in gold just for the first part and is a must have for any diabetic that considers exercise as part of his medication. The book is very well written, full of concise and clear information.
