In this comprehensive introductory book for Type 2 diabetes sufferers, and those at risk of developing the condition, Dr David Cavan explains how diabetes works in the body, the potential pitfalls of living with the disease, and how to avoid, delay - or even reverse - the symptoms.
Type 2 diabetes statistics make for grim reading. In the UK alone, more than 12 million people are 'at risk' of developing Type 2 diabetes. According to the WHO, the number of people in the world with the condition rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Worldwide, Type 2 diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. But now for the good news. By following a mindful diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining the right body weight vs. height, and avoiding tobacco use, it's possible to prevent or delay the onset of disease, and the symptoms can also be treated with medication. With regular screening, and the correct treatment for complications, those with Type 2 diabetes can hope to live a long and full life. This book will tell you everything you need to know.Author Biography
