Book Synopsis'A life-changing diet... in 8 weeks you can halt the progress of pre-diabetes and even reverse type 2 diabetes returning blood sugar levels to normal.' - Daily Mail**AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4**Dr Michael Mosley, author of the bestselling 5:2 Fast Diet, reveals a game-changing approach to one of the greatest silent epidemics of our time - raised blood sugar levels.The food we eat today, high in sugar and easily digestible carbohydrates, is not only making us fat, but is putting us at risk of type 2 diabetes, strokes, dementia, cancer and a lifetime on medication. More than a third of adults in the UK now have raised blood sugar levels and most don't know it.In this timely book, Dr Mosley explains why we pile on dangerous abdominal fat and shows us how to shed it, fast. He demolishes common myths, such as the claim that steady weight loss is always better than rapid weight loss and that those who lose weight rapidly will inevitably put it back on.This is a book not just for those at highest risk but for anyone who has struggled with their weight and wants to regain control of their health.Trade ReviewA brilliant book if you have type 2 diabetes or you don't want to get it.I feel amazing. I have been given another chance at life.Life-changing diet... in 8 weeks you can halt the progress of pre-diabetes and even reverse type 2 diabetes returning blood sugar levels to normal. * Daily Mail *This is potentially a life-changing book for people with raised blood sugar levels as well as those with type 2 diabetes.In this book about the greatest health problem of our time [Dr Michael Mosley] pulls together the latest scientific studies and weaves in moving human stories. If you have raised blood sugar levels or type 2 diabetes and are interested in trying to regain full health, this is the book for you.The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet is the first common sense book on managing your diabetes that offers clear up to date advice on both exercise and diet. This book has a striking and persuasive message: we are in control of own health.As a GP I have been recommending a dietary approach similar to one described in this book for some time. As a result many of my patients have lost weight, become healthier, and we now spend GBP27,000 less per year on drugs for diabetes than the average GP practice in our area.The diet cleaned out my liver and pancreas. It's not so easy for me to gain weight any more. It's as though my body is working metabolically like a young man's again, and I like the person I see in the mirror now.The revelatory claim running throughout this book that type 2 diabetes can not only be prevented but actually reversed is one of the most heartening messages I have have read in a long time. In his clear, un-sensationalist prose, Michael Mosley takes us through the science, theory and evidence behind this claim. If the changes in our diet and lifestyles suggested in this important book were to be taken up I believe it could affect a dramatic change in the nation s health and well-being.

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

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

Book Synopsis"Children with diabetes can live full, happy, productive lives. I hope my story can stand as proof of that fact", the author writes in this important book. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age seven, Wendy Louise Novak had to create her own path in a world defined by stigma, struggle, and hope. Her only role model was her fiercely independent but secretive father, who grew up in an era when diabetes meant a difficult, and often short, life. He taught her to "follow the rules" but also follow her goals. That sense of self-reliance carried Wendy through college to a successful career and a loving marriage as she navigated the highs and lows of a condition that was still gaining acceptance. "I never wanted to be the kind of person who stayed home and worried about whether or not I could take it, and so I didn't" she writes. A world traveller and an advocate, Wendy is now the face of the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute, which supports groundbreaking clinical services, education, and research to ensure young people with diabetes can thrive.In this honest but uplifting account of a life well lived, Wendy shows patients and families that a diagnosis doesn't define your life.Table of Contents Foreword by David Novak Chapter 1: Awareness Chapter 2: Identity Chapter 3: Independence Chapter 4: Risk and Reward Chapter 5: Adjustment Chapter 6: Acceptance Chapter 7: Perseverance Chapter 8: Renewal
