He shows how all types of diabetics can improve their blood panels and reduce their dependence on medication when they discover the food choices, nutritional supplements, and exercise types that work best to regulate blood sugar. Though the large amount of technical information offered could be overwhelming, the youthful sparkle in Kelly Dolan’s excellent performance keeps listeners’ attention from start to finish. He has appealing phrasing along with a quiet urgency in his voice that ebbs and flows in exactly the right amounts and all the right places. Dolan’s remarkable skills and intelligent engagement make Colbert’s recommendations sound within everyone’s reach."

Bolstering the medical discussion on managing diabetes with biblical quotations and examples of prayers, Colbert here stresses faith as an additional management component. The science and medical information, which is accurate, sound, and current (he includes a 2011 Centers for Disease Control survey), offers a review of basic management techniques (diet, nutrition, weight management, and lifestyle changes). The PDF referred to throughout the audio consists of useful lists and sidebars. VERDICT This book would be more impressive had more references been noted within the text, footnotes, endnotes, or listed in a bibliography. Kelly Ryan Dolan holds the listener's attention with his clear, accent-free reading. This audiobook will appeal to readers preferring faith-based titles to purely scientific treatises.—Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty. Law Lib., Sherman, TX
