Course or book?
The book Happy & Healthy with Diabetes and the course cover the same four pillars. The book goes deeper into the science and includes chapters on shopping, restaurants, and travel. The course is faster, more visual, and easier to follow while you change your routine. Many people do both: the course to start, the book to refer back to.
Before you start
Changes to diet and exercise can change your insulin or medication needs. Talk with your care team before you begin, and keep them in the loop as your numbers move. The course is built around that partnership.
