Working in conjunction with a team of experts at the Joslin Clinic and Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Richard S. Beaser, MD, and Amy Campbell, MS, RD, CDE have rewritten and updated the definitive guide to diabetes self-care — an indispensable resource for everyone with the disease and their family members.
We are pleased to announce the publication of a book that will tell you everything that is important about nutrition and meal planning for those with diabetes. Written by well-known Joslin nutritionist Amy Campbell and the staff of Joslin Diabetes Center, this book offers guidance and tips on what a meal plan should look like; carb counting; tips for cooking and baking; meal replacements and much more.
Joslin’s newest book in its Staying Healthy with Diabetes series, Physical Activity & Fitness, will tell you all you need to know about how to get the physical activity you need in a way that’s easiest and safest for you. Written by exercise physiologist, Cathy Mullooly, MS, RCEP, CDE and the Staff of Joslin, it explains how activity helps manage diabetes, its effect on weight loss, first steps to fitness, managing low and high blood glucose during activity, the best type of activity or activities for you (aerobic? resistance? stretching?) and exercising when you have other physical problems. Physical Activity & Fitness offers a realistic approach to fitness, lays to rest some common myths about diabetes and exercise and provides ways to avoid the road blocks to being active.
