"Diabetes Discovered" is a full colored and illustrated visual overview intended to show, not just tell the public that diabetes may be the most under-appreciated disease in the modern world. This book is dedicated to those who have already suffered from complications of diabetes and to those who may be protected from suffering the same fate.

"Diabetes Discovered" contains colored illustrations that represent:

• The current high prevalence of diabetes
• What goes wrong inside the body with diabetes
• The physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial complications of diabetes
• The main factors that contribute to the prevalence of diabetes
• Fundamental actions one can take to prevent, or at least better control diabetes

Who Should Read It?

The book is written for the public (anybody who can read), but especially for those who are most at risk for diabetes; there is a good chance you are one of those at-risk persons.

Why You Should Read It:

Because diabetes is a hugely under-appreciated and highly preventable metabolic condition that costs hundreds of billions of $$$ every year. It is getting worse because people are not addressing the root causes adequately. It has an effect on virtually everybody, directly and personally, or indirectly by the heavy burden it places on society. You may be on the road to diabetes, especially if you have features of metabolic abnormalities such as hypertension, high triglycerides, high cholesterol...
