Bright Spots & Landmines

The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me

By: Adam Brown

Narrated by: Adam Brown

Adam Brown’s acclaimed diaTribe column, Adam’s Corner, has brought life-transforming diabetes tips to more than one million people since 2013.

In this highly actionable guide, he shares the food, mind-set, exercise, and sleep strategies that have had the biggest positive impact on his diabetes - and hopefully yours, too!

Bright Spots & Landmines is filled with hundreds of effective diabetes tips, questions, and shortcuts, including what to eat to minimize blood-sugar swings; helpful strategies to feel less stressed, guilty, and burned out; and simple ways to improve exercise and sleep. Along the way, Adam argues that the usual focus on problems and mistakes in diabetes (land mines) misses the bigger opportunity: bright spots. By identifying what’s working and finding ways to do those things more often, we can all live healthier, happier, and more hopeful lives.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have had type 1 or type 2 diabetes for more than 50 years, this audiobook delivers on its promise: practical diabetes advice that works immediately.

I wish I had read this book 2 years ago

I don’t usually write reviews, but this book literally changed how I look at diabetes. I was diagnosed two years ago, and I wish I’d had this book then. Just a few simple changes, that nobody ever told me about, have changed everything. I didn’t know caffeine made you more insulin resistant and would increase your blood sugars. I cut it out and my sugars have fallen. Now I limit my carbs to less than 30g a meal and I take a walk every afternoon. Those three changes, that he talked about in this book, have cut my blood sugars by 1/3. I promise you there will be information in here that you didn’t know before.

A must read for people with Diabetes

If you , a family member, or a friend has Diabetes please read this book. It is packed with useful information and tips that you can use! It is presented simply and straightforward.
I plan to read it again and I have signed up for the weekly blog.
Thanks Diatribe!!

Effective actions and insights on every page.

I do not have diabetes. I read diabetes oriented books to get ideas on how to live a low insulin lifestyle for optimal health as an older person. This book is full of ideas in that vein.

Diabetes: a gift to the world.

Adam has used diabetes to encourage all those who will listen with the keys to a healthier lifestyle. All of his wisdom can be applied to any human being. Thank you Adam for turning something that could have taken you out of this world to turn you into an ambassador for positive living.

Focus Is On Insulin Users

The book is generally informative but if you aren't an insulin user you may find other books on diabetes care more useful.
