Manage episode 417002487 series 113054
As far back as the sixth century B.C., physicians have looked to treat diabetes through diet. Today, it is estimated that over 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with this chronic disease and up to 9 million suffer undiagnosed. In RETHINKING DIABETES: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments (Knopf, Nonfiction; January 2, 2024), Gary Taubes explores the history of diabetes research to look towards more effective treatment in the future. Delving into the history of diabetes research shows at times conflicting and contradictory medical advice. Taubes re-examines this research alongside the most recent studies to provide new insight that shows the current standard treatment is not enough. He argues for doctors to look beyond prescribing drugs to incorporate dietary and lifestyle changes as an essential part of treatment.
In his latest book, Taubes challenges conventional medical thinking to reveal the limits of medical science for diabetes treatment. The proposed changes in RETHINKING DIABETES could revolutionize how people live with diabetes and help the millions of Americans struggling for years to come.
