Rethinking Diabetes
Product Details
Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated almost exclusively through diet, from subsistence on meat, to reliance on fats, to repeated fasting and near-starvation regimens. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most believe that those with diabetes can enjoy dietary freedom thanks to insulin therapy and other glucose control medications.
Paradoxically over the past 50 years, such guiding principles are accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes. Explore the history underpinning the treatment of diabetes, types 1 and 2, elucidating how decades-old research rife with misconceptions influences medical guidance often at the expense of the patient's long-term well-being.
Rethink diabetes care that promotes recentering of diet—-fewer carbohydrates and more fat-—rather than an over reliance on insulin. Discover critical and passionate arguments that health professionals should question the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity and renew a focus on clinical trials to resolve controversies.
