"Susan and Leslie... combine their respective powerful strengths into The Complete Diabetes Organizer, a must-read title for people with diabetes: one that focuses not on WHAT things to do when you live with diabetes, but on HOW to fit them into your busy lifestyle, how to make them work... From ideas on how to best store, plan for, and label things, every chapter is a treasure chest to help your blood sugars through lessened stress and better diabetes management... The book closes with a phenomenal Diabetes Travel Guide chapter. I highly recommend this title: there's lots you can learn in The Complete Diabetes Organizer regardless of how long you have had diabetes." -Manny Hernandez, TuDiabetes.org "The Complete Diabetes Organizer is an indispensable resource as people journey through life with diabetes. Susan Weiner and Leslie Josel's straightforward, practical tips will help eliminate disorganization, and enable balance, confidence, and integration of important life skills that can lead to success on the journey. Whether you are newly diagnosed and are struggling to establish a rhythm; are experienced with your condition but strive to improve your management; or are facing burnout, frustration, complications, or confusion; this book is for you. Read its words, write in its pages, and make it your guide." -Francine R. Kaufman, MD "Managing [diabetes] can be daunting. The co-authors of this practical, interactive workbook -- Susan Weiner, a dietitian, and Leslie Josel, a professional organizer -- can help. The workbook covers setting goals, organizing supplies, and a 'diabetes-friendly kitchen,' managing diabetes at work...and at school...and more. For diabetics, disorganization can be devastating--even deadly. This book could be a lifesaver." -Peggy Brown, Newsday "I think that this book is an excellent read for anyone with any type of diabetes who is looking to find a way to make life less chaotic and frenetic. There are some excellent tips in this book for not just how to organize in terms of space or routines, but apps that you can use for both iPhone and Android based phones to help manage your diabetes, and tips on how to incorporate some of those necessary tasks to live a healthy life with diabetes into your daily life, and do it without added worry. I highly recommend this book, and think that it is an excellent addition to my diabetes library." -Aliza Zaleon, Health in my Mind "Not surprisingly, the book is well organized, even to the extent of having a built-in bookmark. And, the authors also offer ideas from many other diabetes experts who understand the challenges best- they all have diabetes. I'll just encourage you to grab a copy for yourself, and see if the tips and guidance don't make your diabetes management activities more efficient, and more successful." -Toby Smithson, DiabetesEveryday.com "From her distinguished career and experience in the fields of diabetes and dietetics, Susan Weiner brings helpful tips and tricks that are guaranteed to ease daily mechanics, promote improved nutrition, and relieve stress caused by the demands of daily diabetes management. Certified professional organzier and ADHD specialist Leslie Josel applies her expertise to all areas of diabetes, with simple, sure-fire techniques that will allow you to disentangle your patients with diabetes from the clutches of chronic disorganization. The book includes chapters on "Your Diabetes-Friendly Kitchen," "The Organized Refrigerator, Freezer and Pantry," and "Exercise and Your Diabetes Health." This book is a must-have for people with diabetes, their care-givers, RDs, CDEs, and other health care providers." -Fritz Lenneman, foodandnutrition.org "Anyone with diabetes could benefit from reading and using this book, but it is especially helpful for those who struggle in managing their diabetes care from handling medications, food, cooking, and shopping to remembering what to do, when to do it, and who to see for diabetes care. This book also would be great for parents of children who have diabetes. The author walks a person through being diagnosed to managing the diabetes on a daily basis and throughout life. They have created step-by-step guides, anticipating the needs of those who have diabetes, offering practical suggestions, and providing very detailed suggestions for those taking insulin, who may have more "stuff" to organize. The 12 chapters are packed with helpful guidelines and suggestions. The authors have stepped back to examine how good organization can help people with diabetes manage their disease. This is a wonderful helpful guide for everyday living, work, school, and traveling in one clearly written book." -Peggy Zeller, Academy of Nutrition and DieteticsMore details
