Diabetes is one of the most common of the chronic medical disorders and is expected to present one of the twenty-first century’s biggest medical challenges. Diabetes is also unique among the chronic illness in the degree to which patient behaviour influences both the application and outcomes of therapy. In diabetes, patients deliver over 95 percent of their own care. Diabetes and its consequences have a fundamental physical basis, but these are deeply intertwined with complex psychological issues. Such interrelationships are considerable, sometimes subtle and sometimes overwhelming. This book features the latest information on the best food and dietary strategies for preventing diabetes and for managing prediabetic conditions, such as insulin resistance and the metabolic Syndrome.
