As far back as the sixth century B.C., physicians have looked to treat diabetes through diet. But delving into the history of diabetes, research shows at times conflicting and contradictory medical advice. Gary Taubes, author of "RETHINKING DIABETES: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments," explores the history of diabetes research to look towards more effective treatment in the future. 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. He challenges conventional medical thinking to reveal the limits of medical science for diabetes treatment. His proposed changes could revolutionize how people live with diabetes and help the millions of Americans struggling for years to come.
