- Losing weight improves diabetes management: Not only does being overweight or obese make treating diabetes more difficult, it also increases the instances of common diabetes complications. Losing weight can prevent, improve, and possibly reverse these health issues. Mendosa clearly describes how to effectively use nutrition and exercise to control weight with diabetes drugs. - Weight is a catch-22 in diabetes treatment: Being overweight makes diabetes harder to control, but most diabetes medications actually promote weight gain. Unlike other diabetes books, Losing Weight with Your Diabetes Medication examines dozens of medications for treating diabetes and clearly explains how they affect patients--through weight gain or loss and other side effects--and provides information for escaping this vicious cycle. - Author David Mendosa has been leading the vanguard of diabetes advancements for more than a decade: In the mid-1990s, Mendosa introduced North Americans to the glycemic index when the wrote about it at his longtime website, www.mendosa.com. Since then he has continued to be among the first to report on leading-edge developments in diabetes research, care, and management. Mendosa himself has lost more than 100 pounds with his diabetes medication.Mendosa, David is the author of 'Losing Weight With Your Diabetes Medication How Byetta and Other Drugs Can Help You Lose More Weight Than You Ever Thought Possible', published 2007 under ISBN 9781600940453 and ISBN 1600940455.
