Walter Willet, MD

"Dr. Brand-Miller's pioneering research has clearly shown that all carbohydrates are not created equal - and everyone having problems with glucose metabolism needs to know the difference."

- Walter Willett, MD, professor of epidemiology and nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, and author of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy

JoAnn E. Manson, MD

"Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century and this book will empower you to take charge of your life and 'live well' with diabetes. Written by the world's experts on diet and the glycemic index, this book will provide the tools you need to make dietary and lifestyle changes to achieve lifelong health. The authors are to be congratulated for an eminently lucid book with the potential for real impact on public health."

- JoAnn E. Manson, MD, professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, and chief of preventive medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital

David Ludwig, MD, PhD

"The New Glucose Revolution for Diabetes, written by a compassionate team of experts, combines years of clinical experience and state-of-the-art research into a comprehensive approach to diabetes. The book is loaded with practical information, step-by-step guidance, recipes and other supports that will guide the reader to prevent a problem from developing, or effectively manage one that has. I recommend it enthusiastically."

- David Ludwig, MD, PhD, director, Optimal Weight for Life program, Children's Hospital Boston, and author of Ending the Food Fight

Thomas M. S. Wolever, PhD, DM

"The New Glucose Revolution for Diabetes is a fantastic book that covers everything about diabetes in simple, clear and easy-to-read language while it is also accurate and up-to-date. The discussion about GI is balanced and places it into exactly the right perspective as an important and helpful component of the diet, but not the only thing that needs to be considered. Not only does it have lots of helpful technical information about diabetes but it also has lots of practical tips and tasty recipes. This is the only book that people with diabetes will need."

- Thomas M. S. Wolever, PhD, DM, department of nutritional sciences, University of Toronto

Neal D. Barnard, MD

"Jennie Brand-Miller's research has proven that the low-GI approach works wonders, bringing easy weight loss and improved blood sugar control. We have used a low-GI menu with great results in our research studies, and I would recommend the GI method as an important tool for anyone."

- Neal D. Barnard, MD, Adjunct Association Professor of Medicine, George Washington University School of Medicine; President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
