Penguin Young Readers Mastering Diabetes
Book SynopsisThe instant New York Times bestseller.A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance. Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary book, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease.The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes.As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a

Hammersmith Health Books Prevent and Cure Diabetes: Delicious Diets, Not
Book SynopsisDiabetes type 2 - which results from insensitivity to insulin - and its precursor, metabolic syndrome, are reaching epidemic proportions yet if the root causes can be addressed the condition can be both prevented and reversed. Diabetes type 1 (autoimmune - arising from insufficient insulin) is caused by other factors (primary risk factors are dairy products, vitamin D deficiency and vaccines) but is also more prevalent today than ever before. Dr Myhill has long experience of helping her patients overcome diabetes and related problems of uncontrolled blood sugar and low energy; this informs her account of how and why burning fat rather than carbs is healthier, more natural and more efficient, and how the necessary 'metabolic flexibility' can be achieved. With the support of her co-author Craig Robinson, she also addresses the many other risk factors for diabetes, including environmental toxins, drugs (prescribed, over-the-counter and illegal), medical conditions and poor lifestyle choices, and how the multiple health problems that follow from poorly controlled blood sugar levels can be avoided.Table of ContentsSugar - our non-essential and dangerous fuel; How sugar damages the body; Diagnosis of diabetes and metabolic syndrome; Addiction, stress and inertia; How the body normally balances blood sugar levels; Prevention, treatment and reversal of metabolic syndrome and diabetes; Why it is essential to reverse metabolic syndrome and diabetes; Appendices: Essential recipes; Why fats are so important to us; Good fats and bad fats; The fermenting mouth, gut and skin; Toxic causes of insulin resistance; Tests and how to get them done; Doctors are dangerous; Vital statistics

Greystone Books,Canada The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2
Book SynopsisFROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG • “The doctor who invented intermittent fasting.” —The Daily Mail“Dr. Fung reveals how [type 2 diabetes] can be prevented and also reversed using natural dietary methods instead of medications … This is an important and timely book. Highly recommended.” —Dr. Mark Hyman, author of The Pegan Diet“Dr. Jason Fung has done it again. … Get this book!” —Dr. Steven R. Gundry, author of The Plant ParadoxEverything you believe about treating type 2 diabetes is wrong. Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease—a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this groundbreaking book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible.Writing with clear, persuasive language, Dr. Fung explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper dieting and intermittent fasting—not medication.“The Diabetes Code is unabashedly provocative yet practical ... a clear blueprint for everyone to take control of their blood sugar, their health, and their lives.”—Dr. Will Cole, author of Intuitive FastingTrade Review“The methods described by Fung should be taught to medical students and residents, and used in family medicine offices as part of a lifestyle approach to promoting health.”—Family Medicine Journal“The Diabetes Code explores in detail the origins of type 2 diabetes. By understanding the underlying cause of the disease, Dr. Fung reveals how it can be prevented and also reversed using natural dietary methods instead of medications. Given the worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes in both adults and children, this is an important and timely book. Highly recommended.”—Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, New York Times bestselling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?“[Jason Fung] has a gift for explaining complex science clearly and delivering it with the perfect, telling anecdote.”—Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise“Dr. Jason Fung has done it again. In easy to follow, simple steps and rules, Dr. Fung gives you the tools to rid yourself of Diabetes forever. Get this book!”—Steven R Gundry MD, author of The Plant Paradox“In this terrific and hopeful book Dr. Fung teaches you everything you need to know about how to reverse type 2 diabetes. It could change the world.”—Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, author of Low Carb, High Fat Food Revolution“With rich scientific support, Dr. Jason Fung has sounded a clarion call to re-evaluate how we view and treat diabetes. Considering that roughly half of all adults worldwide are diabetic or on their way (pre-diabetes), The Diabetes Code is essential reading.”—Dr. Benjamin Bikman, Professor of Physiology, Brigham Young University“The Diabetes Code is unabashedly provocative yet practical ... a clear blueprint for everyone to take control of their blood sugar, their health, and their lives.”—Dr. Will Cole, leading functional medicine practitioner and senior clinical director at Cole Natural Health Centers“Type 2 diabetes can be reversed with the right combination of diet and lifestyle—you can reclaim your health and vitality. Dr. Fung will teach you how.”—Amy Berger, author of The Alzheimer's Antidote“The Diabetes Code should be on the bookshelf of every physician.”—Dr. Carrie Diulus, orthopaedic spine surgeon, Medical Director Crystal Clinic Spine Wellness Center“The Diabetes Code clears the fog around Type 2 Diabetes and underscores that for most people, it is preventable or reversible”—Dr. Karim Khan, editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine

Basic Health Publications Vitamin Cure for Diabetes: Prevent and Treat
Book SynopsisMost people's diets are woefully inadequate for providing proper nutrition. Even good diets fail to deliver sufficient levels of nutrients. The Vitamin Cure book series highlights the safe and clinically effective use of vitamin supplements for a variety of illnesses. Research continues to prove the immense value of vitamins for maintaining health and fighting disease. The Vitamin Cure books written by authors who are recognized experts in their field, give you authoritative, up-to-date, and practical information on taking vitamins for particular health problems. There is an epidemic of diabetes and the problem is only getting worse. More than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes, and over 3 million people die from the consequences of the disease each year. Diabetes deaths will double by the year 2030. Diabetes mellitus affects the use of sugar (glucose) in the body, either because the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond to it. High levels of blood glucose become toxic to many tissues and organs and may result in blindness, kidney failure, brain and nerve damage, heart disease, and rapidly developing atherosclerosis. Fortunately, there is an answer. THE VITAMIN CURE FOR DIABETES can help most diabetics come off all or most medications by changing their lifestyle, learning how to eat healthier, starting to exercise, and taking nutraceuticals. The book provides a complete supplement program (vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements) that can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. Learn how to optimally manage, or even prevent, diabetes for yourself and for your loved ones.

Cornell University Press Rethinking Diabetes
Book SynopsisIn Rethinking Diabetes, Emily Mendenhall investigates how global and local factors transform how diabetes is perceived, experienced, and embodied from place to place. Mendenhall argues that the link between sugar and diabetes overshadows the ways in which underlying biological processes linking hunger, oppression, trauma, unbridled stress, and chronic mental distress produce diabetes. The life history narratives in the book show how deeply embedded these factors are in the ways diabetes is experienced and (re)produced among poor communities around the world.Rethinking Diabetes focuses on the stories of women living with diabetes near or below the poverty line in urban settings in the United States, India, South Africa, and Kenya. Mendenhall shows how women''s experiences of living with diabetes cannot be dissociated from their social responsibilities of caregiving, demanding family roles, expectations, and gendered experiences of violence that often displace theTrade ReviewAn erudite work of original and seminal scholarship, Rethinking Diabetes is an extraordinary study that is especially and unreservedly recommended. * Midwest Book Review *Rethinking Diabetes is an astonishing achievement for both its breadth and depth in mapping lived experiences around diabetes and other conditions. The breadth is provided by data collection over four locations, while teasing out the differences between those. The depths are in providing understanding of how diabetes is both a contributor to and effect of trauma, poverty, and other health conditions. The use of narratives within each chapter makes for compelling reading of a text that is accessible and relatable. * Sociology in Health & Illness *Rethinking Diabetes is an outstanding example of current medical anthropological theory, and one with important messages for other many fields—including global health and human biology. It is also highly readable, bringing the reader into the world it explores. * American Journal of Human Biology *
