Foreword
by Barbara Anderson
When we read a book, we read “within the lines” and “between the lines.” “Within the lines” means that we pay attention to what the author has written, to the printed facts and the information. “Between the lines” refers to both the emotional tone in which the facts and information are given as well as the information that the author has not included. Type 2 Diabetes for Beginners, which has been written by a seasoned nutritionist with substantial diabetes experience, has the comprehensive information and facts “within” its lines—from carb counting to stress management—that a person needs in order to begin and maintain a life with diabetes. However, what is most unique about this book is that it also communicates “between the lines,” providing the essential emotional message that it takes determination, courage, and support to maintain the stamina to sustain this journey in living with diabetes. The experienced nutritionist who wrote Type 2 Diabetes for Beginners is also an experienced clinician and has worked for years with individuals with diabetes and their families. Phyllis Barrier understands that what patients and families need does not simply end at the information and facts, but also requires energy, optimism, and engagement to successfully apply diabetes facts and create and continue healthy lifestyle changes.
As to information that is not included in this book, you will find no mention of how easy it is to live with diabetes. You will not find misleading messages that say you can “do it all yourself.” In fact, you are assured that living with diabetes is a difficult challenge and that everyone on the road needs two teams—an experienced health care team and a family/friend support team. What I appreciate most about this book is its honest and reassuring tone. Within the lines and between them, the person with diabetes is guided to take small and realistic steps to create and continue needed lifestyle changes. And as Phyllis has said so strongly within and between the lines, building a long and healthy life with diabetes can be a realistic long-term goal for everyone with diabetes.

I am honored to introduce this book and congratulate you on taking this important step in caring for your diabetes. If you are like many of the people whom I see as a diabetes educator and you just found out that you have type 2 diabetes, you are probably feeling somewhat overwhelmed. You may also be feeling angry, scared, or confused.
You probably also have questions. You may have concerns about taking care of a chronic illness such as diabetes. And you may have discovered that diabetes is different from other illnesses you have had. Having diabetes means that there are many decisions to be made each day about how you care for yourself. Making wise choices will make a difference in both how you feel today and your future health.
You may also want to begin to make some changes in your life that will help you take better care of yourself and your diabetes. As much as you truly want to make these changes, it is never easy, especially when it comes to how you eat, handle stress, and exercise.
It may help to know that you are not alone. This book is written to be a resource to help you learn how to manage and cope with diabetes. You may not know a lot about diabetes yet, but you do know about yourself and what is important to you. When you combine what you know with what your health care team knows about diabetes, you’ll have a powerful combination.
I often tell my patients that diabetes is a journey. It is probably not a journey that you would have chosen, and it is not an easy one. But even the hardest journey is made easier when you can lighten your load. This book can be a guide for you. The more you know, the more you will feel that you are in charge of diabetes, rather than allowing diabetes to control you. You can also learn how to make decisions that are right for you and make changes in your life so that you not only live long but live well.
Best wishes on your journey.

Acknowledgments
Len Boswell, former Vice President, Publications, American Diabetes Association, came up with the idea for a book that would help people who are just beginning to deal with type 2 diabetes, whether newly diagnosed or just starting to care for their long-standing diabetes. I am grateful that he asked me to write it.
Many other staff members at the National Office of the American Diabetes Association helped make this book a reality. Special thanks to Abe Ogden, Director of Book Publishing; Greg Guthrie, Managing Editor; Stephanie Dunbar, MPh, RD, Director of Nutrition and Medical Affairs; and the illustrators and graphic designers.
Thanks also to the many volunteers I worked with at the American Diabetes Association. They taught me so much through the years. I cannot possibly list them all, but I hope they know who they are! I do want to single out those volunteers who worked with me on the Program Publications Editorial Board: Martha M. Funnell, MS, RN, CDE; Virginia Paragallo-Dittko, MA, RN, CDE; Barbara Anderson, PhD; Patricia Barr, BS; Carol Homko, PhD, RN, CDE; Melinda Maryniuk, MEd, RD, CDE; Catherine Mullooly, MS, CDE; Robin Nwankwo, MPH, RD, CDE; Cecilia Boyer Casey, MS, RN, CDE; Richard Rubin, PhD, CDE; and Andrea Zaldivar, MS, ANP, CDE. Marion Franz, MS, RD, CDE, and Madelyn Wheeler, MS, RD, were my wonderful diabetes and nutrition mentors who always had time for a question or volunteer project.
And last, but not least, I want to thank my parents for their sacrifices and support through the years. I also want to thank my husband, Michael, who has been my best friend, sounding board, and “at-home editor.”
