Winning Over Diabetes: Prevention through Understanding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494875923)

Diabetes is becoming more and more of an issue. Largely a self-managed disease, many of its complications can be avoided, or at least limited. But that requires proper education.

Thankfully, former professors Rita Malik, MD, and T.K. Malik, FRCS, have stepped up to the blackboard with their informative guide, Winning Over Diabetes. With more than thirty-five years of medical experience, the authors emphasize the importance of not only understanding the basics of how our bodies work, but also valuing the consequences and lasting effects of diabetes with proper seriousness.

Beginning with the basics of the disease and its history, including describing the different types of diabetes, the authors move on to describe the disease's complications, using tables and illustrations to help explain the issues. After educating readers on what might be seen as "the bad news," the authors transition into sharing "the good news" how predisposed individuals can avoid the disease, and how current diabetics can better manage their disease and prevent serious complications. There are even home remedies and tasty Indian recipes included in the last few chapters.

Whether you or a loved one is dealing with diabetes, this comprehensive guide will set you on the path to beating diabetes.
