Essential Diabetes Leadership

By Laurence D. Chalem

Incredibly accessible and straightforward, Laurence D. Chalem's second book, Essential Diabetes Leadership, is the quintessential overview of diabetes. Whether you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with diabetes or whether it is something you have managed for years, this book provides insight on how to live optimally with diabetes. In this powerful and empowering treatise, the author traces data from the last three centuries and explains where to find credible information from all channels of information. Meticulously researched and fully annotated, Chalem's analysis also investigates the most influential diabetes study in the world. Here is where questions are answered and diabetics become the leaders of their wellness. Nearly the entire diabetes treatment industry is biased in favor of their particular interests and that-hands down-the optimal treatment of diabetes is a diet low in carbohydrates, high in fat, and one that takes the middle ground in regards to protein.

A good read

This refreshing book, "Essential Diabetes Leadership," questions the logic of recommending high-carbohydrate diets to diabetics. Among other benefits, the book provides: * historical perspectives on diabetes and its treatments * an illuminating allegory to illustrate a potential design flaw of a high-impact diabetes trial * an assessment of the logic of combatting unstable blood sugar levels by dietary bombardments of high-glycemic carbohydrates. The book is all the more poignant and salient because the author is a type I diabetic whose moral compass remains unaffected by the pervasive conflicts of interests that so often plague us.
