Book Reviews of Diabetic Athlete's Handbook
Book Review: The great got better
Summary: 5 Stars
Colberg hit it out of the park again. Her book 'The Diabetic Athlete' has been my go to book ever since I started training. Even so, it left a lot of areas uncovered. I felt like it was focused too much on aerobic endurance sports and didn't give enough coverage to other sports, especially sports that focused more on anaerobic/explosive training. The first books coverage of exercise supplements was also somewhat lacking.
So of course the first thing i did when I got the Athletes Handbook was to jump to the sections dealing with those issues, and I was ecstatic to see how much those sections had improved. She provides a more comprehensive (and up to date) discussion about supplements, and much more information about managing both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia for athletes who train/compete in activities with more erratic demands on the different energy systems. I was especially happy to see that several of the athletes profiles in her book this time were directly relevant to my sport (Judo). She also took the opportunity to update her discussion on the gadgets that run our lives, and has up to date info on meters, pumps, and newer meds. As a bonus, she has added sections on the mental aspects of training, and on managing injuries as a diabetic.
Bottom line. If you are an active diabetic, run, bike or swim to your nearest bookstore and get this book.
