Diabetes affects over 400 million people worldwide, four times more than in 1980. What was once rare has become common, with adults developing Type 1 and children getting Type 2. The medical establishment treats diabetes as chronic and progressive, warning of blindness, amputations, and death. Nina Teicholz assembles leading experts in diabetes and diet to challenge this view. These thought leaders, academics, and doctors examine fundamental questions: What causes diabetes? Why do we consume so much carbohydrate? Why do diabetics die from heart disease? Why do athletes frequently develop Type 2 diabetes? Despite their different perspectives, all contributors share one belief: diabetes does not have to remain chronic and progressive. They argue that Type 1 can be substantially improved and Type 2 can enter remission. The book offers readers a path forward beyond traditional medical assumptions.
