Book SynopsisA food lover''s guide to eating well with diabetes. Poldark star Robin Ellis''s Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian recipes are delicious and suitable for the entire family and for entertaining friends, with no sacrifice of taste or quality.Mediterranean cuisine is among the healthiest in the world and a vegetarian diet has been proven to be particularly health-giving for people who have diabetes. In this book British actor Robin Ellis shares his lifetime collection of healthy and simple vegetarian recipes especially selected and adapted for people wishing to control or prevent Types 2 diabetes. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes himself, Robin explains the strategic changes he made - in what he eats and how he prepares his food - that allowed him to bring his glucose levels down sufficiently to avoid taking medication for six years. Robin''s recipes show how you can cook and eat delicious vegetarian food without recourse to carb-heavy pastries or potTrade ReviewWhen first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes I plunged myself into a world of research on how to combat and reverse said diabetes. This was how Robin's cookbook, Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics, found its way into my kitchen. In successfully reversing my diabetes I owe a significant debt to Robin's delicious recipes, and as someone who adores cooking Robin's book still gets enormous use in this grateful household. Keep them coming. Terrific! -- David Calder, actorI can't recommend Robin's recipes highly enough. Several have become regular favourites, not just because as a Type 2 diabetic I need to eat sensibly, but because they are fantastically full of flavour and on a grey day in Wiltshire you feel like you're in the South of France. -- Clive Mantle, actor and author of the Freddie Malone Adventure seriesWhile not suffering from diabetes myself, I can highly recommend Robin's delicious recipes, some of which I have had the pleasure of sampling at his table in France. The recipes have all the richness of classical Mediterranean cooking. Enjoy yourselves . . . with this mouth-watering cornucopiaRobin Ellis learned to cook at his mother's knee. This unique book is rich with a lifetime's experience of wonderful cooking in the Mediterranean way. His recipes open up a world of delicious, healthy eating which everyone will love. An instant classicOf course I am biased, Robin is a very old and dear friend! Even so, he is simply one of the best cooks ever. Why? His cuisine is always a delicious culinary paradox, strong and delicate with an exquisite balance of flavours. One of the truly great treats of my life is a meal prepared by Robin - with the commitment, love and detail of a great actor preparing for a classical role. Once tasted, never forgotten!Robin is the perfect cook to have as a friend. He loves food, cooks superbly and likes nothing more than sharing his food with as many people as he can get round a table. Generosity is at the heart of good cooking and Robin cooks to give pleasure. It always worksRobin's cooking did what five different medications failed to do: bring down my high blood pressure. I suffered a stroke and no medication brought my blood pressure below 177/70. After staying only one week with Robin and eating his delicious meals, it came down to 120/59. Now home, my challenge is to reproduce his way of eating. With the help of this cookbook, I am sure I canRobin Ellis has the gift of writing recipes that you can taste as you read them. As if his acting weren't enough, he's now given us a marvellous book - without any pretension or carry-on, just deep affection and knowledge. Absolutely deliciousI've used Robin's recipes again and again. They're elegant, delicious, imaginative and easy to use. The Basques are great cooks and giving a dinner in the Basque Country is scary. One also eats very late, so no one wants anything too heavy. I always use one of Robin's recipes and end up with nothing but compliments and a demand for the recipe. "An Englishwoman who can cook tuna!" someone said to me in complete astonishment. Of course, the recipe was Robin'sRobin and I are old friends - or should I say enemies - from Poldark days. As Captain McNeill, I was constantly trying - and failing - to catch up with him and throw him into prison. Today I'm trying to catch up with his expertise in the kitchen! I'm now somewhat embarrassed when I have to say yet again, 'This is delicious! Can I have the recipe?' His cooking is superb. Wonderful flavours, textures and presentation. His cook book is a must for those who love their food, but also like to stay healthy.Robin's cooking and Robin's recipes: simple, fresh and simply glorious. To have Sunday lunch at Robin's and to go home with his recipes is the perfect southwest France Sunday. Oh, let there be many more Sundays in the kitchen with Robin.Robin Ellis is a superb chef! His cookbook is filled with delicious and healthy recipes even for people like me who are not diabetics

Book SynopsisThe huge and growing problem of type 2 diabetes already affects 10-20% of the population. Millions more are in the early stage of the disease (a condition called prediabetes) or are at high risk of developing it within five years. This book is designed to be a resource for people diagnosed with either diabetes or prediabetes. Though there is a lot of information and advice about living with diabetes, there is very little information about how to minimize the risk of health complications or, more importantly, how to get rid of it for good. This single, reliable, evidence-based, high-quality resource includes everything there is to know about beating type 2 diabetes. Beginning with a description of what type 2 diabetes is, how the condition is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how the condition is monitored and managed, the reader will gain a better understanding of the causes of type 2 diabetes, what the risk factors are, and why it is linked so strongly to being overweight or obese. Understanding type 2 diabetes means the reader is now equipped to reverse the diagnosis. To help the reader beat type 2 diabetes, the author provides an effective weight-loss plan. This plan uses sensible, varied, non-extreme dieting combined with enjoyable and exhilarating (but not exhausting!) exercise that should kick diabetes into remission and improve overall health. The great thing about the diet part of the plan is that it does not require sticking with the same boring diet for week after week. Instead, the reader can use a variety of different, but equally effective, diets which can be changed weekly. With this book, the reader can reverse their diagnosis and beat type 2 diabetes for good!

Book SynopsisA critical study of diabetes in the popular imaginationOver twenty-nine million people in the United States, more than nine percent of the population, have some form of diabetes. In Managing Diabetes, Jeffrey A. Bennett focuses on how the disease is imagined in public culture. Bennett argues that popular anecdotes, media representation, and communal myths are as meaningful as medical and scientific understandings of the disease. In focusing on the public character of the disease, Bennett looks at health campaigns and promotions as well as the debate over public figures like Sonia Sotomayor and her management of type 1 diabetes. Bennett examines the confusing and contradictory public depictions of diabetes to demonstrate how management of the disease is not only clinical but also cultural. Bennett also has type 1 diabetes and speaks from personal experience about the many misunderstandings and myths that are alive in the popular imagination. Ultimately, Managing DiTrade ReviewManaging Diabetes represents the best that medical humanities has to offer and is relevant to health care professionals, humanities and arts scholars, social scientists, medical educators, and patients. Bennett offers an analysis of a chronic disease that intersects with many socio-cultural practices and beliefs about individualization, governmentality, medicalization, and epidemiology while being attentive to the stratification systems (i.e., race, class, gender) that organize all social life. Given that half the population of the US experiences diabetes, it is conceivable that this disease touches everyones life. -- Monica J. Casper,co-editor of Critical Trauma StudiesReaders of Jeffrey A. Bennett's Managing Diabetes will find an astute analysis animated by buoyant prose and captivating images that illuminates the lived experience of diabetes by explicating how that experience is mediatedand, in many ways, made indecipherableby bio-politically articulated public discourses. Bennett wisely focuses his gaze beyond the clinic toward 'management' rhetoric as it circulates across mainstream contexts, and the result is an invigorating intervention lighting the way forward for critical health communication scholarship. -- Robin E. Jensen,author of Infertility: Tracing the History of a Transformative TermIf you’re at all interested in themes like TV and movie portrayal of diabetes, blame and shame in society, and how celebrity messaging impacts perception of the disease … check this book out. It certainly gets the mind going. * Healthline *The content of this book is relevant to strategic communication in terms of shaping public discourse on the topic and the ways in which we, as professionals of the field, can facilitate that. * Communication Booknotes Quarterly *Managing Diabetes complements a now growing anthropological literature that extends beyond the domain of the clinic to explore the impact of public narratives, racialized capitalism, legacies of coloniality, and the exigencies of global health science on the meaning and experience of diabetes and closely related conditions like obesity. * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *

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

Book SynopsisEnteroviruses have been examined for their possible role in the etiology of type 1 diabetes for nearly 40 years. It is now evident from studies in several countries that enterovirus infection accompanies or precedes the onset of diabetes in many individuals. These evidences include the isolation of coxsackievirus B4 from the pancreas of a child at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, several epidemiological and prospective studies showing that some cases of type 1 diabetes are strongly associated with enterovirus infections, seasonal incidence studies, case-control studies that show an increased prevalence and levels of IgM antibodies to enterovirus in newly diagnosed patients. Other evidences involves several case studies in which diabetes develops after an enterovirus infections, increased T cell response to enterovirus antigens in type 1 diabetic patients, suggestions that enterovirus infections during pregnancy might initiate the events leading to childhood diabetes, and a higher frequency of enterovirus RNA in the serum/blood of type 1 diabetic patients at diagnosis. This book Provides a better understanding of enteroviral biology and the potential alternative pathogenic mechanisms through which enteroviruses may cause diabetes.

Book SynopsisThe clinical management of patients with diabetes is rapidly evolving. This book provides a succinct summary of a range of topics, including areas where there is already well developed evidence for a particular treatment, but also those areas where the evidence is perhaps doubtful or there is some associated controversy or ambiguity. Where possible throughout the book treatment recommendations are given based on the available evidence and practice guidelines. The book also highlights the gaps in evidence where further research is needed. In the practice of diabetes care, there are many issues influencing practitioners currently. This book addresses many of the most pertinent issues concerning delivery of diabetes care such as: Is diabetes preventable in high-risk individuals? Once diabetes has developed what are the goals of treatment and how aggressive should treatment be whilst avoiding adverse effects? What is the role of treating glycaemia in reducing macrovascular disease? Who to screen, how to screen and who to treat for coronary artery disease? Who and how to treat hyperglycaemia in acute coronary syndromes? Has there been any progress in the management of gestational diabetes? Is there an evidence base for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes with oral hypoglycaemic agents? The authors are internationally renowned experts in the field of diabetes care who successfully and succinctly present state-of-the-art reviews based on the medical evidence designed to help the clinician be as best informed as possible in the care of patients with diabetes.Table of ContentsInsulin resistance; Goals of treatment; Prevention of diabetes in high-risk individuals; Early insulin initiation in type 2 diabetes; Treatment of blood pressure; Glucose control & macrovascular disease/morbidity; Dual blockade of RAS in diabetes with ACE inhibitors & ARBs; Anaemia & renal disease; Treatment of foot conditions; Coronary artery disease: who to screen, how to screen, when to treat; Hyperglycaemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes; Gestational diabetes; Patient education; Drugs & outcomes; The role of CGMS in the management of type 1 & 2 diabetes; Retinopathy treatment; Neuropathy.
