One Focus a Week, for Twelve Weeks

After a type 2 diabetes diagnosis there is a lot of advice and very little structure. The Type 2 Diabetes Action Plan is a workbook that turns the everyday side of it - food, movement, sleep, check-ups and record keeping - into twelve weekly steps you can actually finish.

What's Inside

• Understanding type 2 diabetes: what is happening in the body, the tests you will hear about, who is on a care team and the signs of low blood sugar.
• Eating well: the plate method (following the ADA's published plate method approach), carbohydrates and labels, drinks, snacks, eating out, 24 mix-and-match plates, a 7-day sample menu and 30 recipes with nutrition per serving.
• Moving more: a 12-week walking plan that builds from 10 minutes to 150 minutes a week, and a six-move strength routine that needs no equipment.
• Daily care: sleep, stress, a two-minute foot check, the check-ups commonly recommended each year and planning for sick days.
• The 12-week action plan: each week has a focus, three actions, a habit tracker, a dinner planner and a review page, with a check-in every four weeks.
• Ten printable logs: lab results, medicines, blood sugar, food and activity, meal planner, grocery list, appointment prep, questions for your care team, check-up calendar and emergency information.

Who It's For

• Adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who want a structured way to build everyday habits
• People who want to arrive at appointments with their numbers, questions and logs in order
• Family members helping someone organize their routine
