I also posted this on my blog and the ADA forum today.

Over the years since diagnosis I learned from many people. I
have mentioned some here in past posts, particularly
Jennifer, who wrote the Test,test,test advice,
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm
and Quentin, who is a guy in New Zealand who wrote on
alt.support.diabetes with an amazing knowledge of the
various foods that are good for us, which micronutrients are
available in different foods and how they can help us.

Unfortunately, in 2005, Quentin had a second diagnosis some
years after his type 2 was diagnosed. He has an aggressive
form of multiple myeloma, a terrible condition which he has
found is unaffected by diet. Despite that he is defying the
odds and he is still with us, although he is very ill. My
wife and I spent a pleasant afternoon and evening with him
in early 2006 when we were on a holiday to the North Island.
He was happiest when showing us around his small but very
productive garden, describing the fruits and vegetables he
was growing and what their benefits were.

After that diagnosis many of his friends urged him to write
a book on nutrition. It was published earlier this year,
with a very limited circulation in New Zealand; a few of us
in other parts of the world also bought it direct from him.
He aimed it at men in his country and titled it “Nutrition
for Blokes”. I bought my own copy from Quentin as soon as it
was available.

A friend of mine, Jenny Ruhl, has just let me know that
Quentin's book is now available via the web. If anyone is
interested in obtaining it, here is the web-site:

http://www.phlaunt.com/quentin/21441835.php

Just for the record, I have no financial interest of any
sort in Quentin or his book. However, I thoroughly recommend
his book to all, not just to "blokes".

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Thanks for posting this, Alan. I'm glad they've found a way to keep it
available, via web sales!

I liked that it's possible to read an excerpt there & more. Well done site,
I'd say!
