Our bodies are a mystery to us. We may see our arms and legs move, but we have no idea how the muscles beneath look as they contract. We know that our stomachs digest food and our hearts pump blood throughout our bodies, but the images we have in our heads of these organs are often inaccurate or incomplete. Even seeing pictures of our internal systems and organs can be misleading if these pictures don't offer a full, 360-degree view.
Anatomy 360 shows the human body in its entirety—from the skin to the muscles to the organs to the bones. This stunning book provides a unique perspective on our most crucial parts, showing how the structures of our bodies influence their functions. You'll learn about the vagus nerve, which allows us to swallow, speak and cough, and the frontalis muscle, which raises our eyebrows when we're surprised. You'll also learn why our noses run when we cry and why our brains are so important even though they weigh just one kilogram each.
With Anatomy 360, you'll finally get a complete look at the human body—even the parts you thought you'd never see!
Diane Kress, author of The Metabolism Miracle, the New York Times Bestseller that has changed the way people lose weight, get healthy and feel great around the world, now releases her groundbreaking book to help millions of people with pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Miracle is sure to become the “essential guidebook” for self management of this epidemic disease as it helps readers prevent or control type 2 diabetes using little or no medication.
Kress, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator who herself has type 2 diabetes, has over 30 years experience working with patients to solve weight and blood sugar issues. Although trained traditionally, she ultimately realized that the “recommended” diets for diabetes really didn’t work! Over time, patients trying to adhere to these complicated and restrictive diets actually continued to gain weight and required more and more medications for diabetes as well as cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, depression. Some patients ultimately required insulin injections.
The Diabetes Miracle will be your “go to” diabetes reference for the latest information on the epidemic of diabetes, diagnosis, symptoms (even the lesser known “quiet symptoms”), medications, complications, the when, where, and how of blood glucose monitoring, target blood sugar ranges, lab tests, sample menus plus a complete section on exercise for the person with diabetes.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes (but didn't know to ask)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), the revolutionary technology that’s poised to completely change diabetes care, gives you a unique peak beneath your skin, revealing what your blood sugar is doing—day and night and night and day.
Beyond Fingersticks covers the history, science, biology, and technical details behind these systems. The author has left no stone unturned in helping you cope with the nuts and bolts of daily living with CGM systems, from choosing alarm thresholds that really work, to successful calibration, to affording a system, to dealing with the volumes of data they create. How to wear, travel, sleep with, and think about CGM—it’s all here for you. Yep. Even sex wearing CGM.
