“Her sense of humor, humility, and use of the life stories of others makes this a fascinating read, and she manages to not only delve into the “why,” but provide readers practical and useful advice which can be implemented immediately.
As the growing level of evidence points out, traditional approaches to treating and managing diabetes can only benefit from experts such as herself, who encourage us to step back and really think about what we do and why we do it.
This book also provides excellent suggestions for those who do not have diabetes.”

“This book is a masterpiece in that it allows a human to change their lifestyle, and (more importantly) take their life in their hands—something that many humans leave to destiny and fate, sadly. Life is what you make of it, and Roshani guides you on how to make the most of it.
If people read this book, most won’t even need to consult an endocrinologist, but I don’t’ think Roshani would be much bothered about that—that’s what her passion in life has been—‘take charge of your body metabolism and life, and enjoy it.”

Loaded with hundreds of medical references of historical significance as well as recent science and the daily practical application of all of this in real human patients, this book will make you rethink everything you have thought to be true about what we once believed to be a chronic progressive disease.”

“It takes brave clinicians like Roshani to save the world from a completely preventable and in most cases reversible condition, which is type two diabetes. The guide also gives great wisdom if you have type one diabetes which, although not reversible, can be managed in a much simpler and safer way to allow you to live a life of health.
We need more clinicians around the world, teaching this and policymakers changing the food environment and maybe then we can have a healthier future.”

“Nevertheless, I found many ideas in the book both surprising and inspiring (e.g., the gestalt of diabetes care and the ability to reverse hypoglycemia unawareness). The idea that all of the pieces diet, (reduced carbs coupled with increased healthy proteins), sleep, stress management, and exercise matter significantly in diabetes management is effectively driven home with multiple patient narratives.
Her effective use of patient narratives and vivid analogies ensures that readers can understand the concepts presented. In addition to serving as an effective learning tool, the stories and illustrations of Motivational Interviewing leave the reader with the sense that Dr. Sanghani is a very caring provider who considers her patients’ lived experiences when making suggestions.”
