What's the matter?
Type 2 diabetes always has two triggers: genes and lifestyle. The latter influences the activity of the former. Diet and physical activity not only determine whether a predisposition to diabetes also leads to one. They can also help an existing diabetes improve - or even go away completely.
Current state of research
The science journalist Svea Golinske has meticulously analyzed the current state of science. It has put the current nutritional recommendations for healthy people and diabetics to the test - and in many cases exposed them as outdated.
To do this, she took into account the current study situation and spoke to leading experts on the subject of diabetes in Germany and the USA. Among them are Prof. Hans Hauner, Medical Director of the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Nutritional Medicine at the Technical University of Munich, and Prof. Andreas Pfeiffer from the German Institute for Nutritional Research.
The power of lifestyle
Golinske explores the complex topic down to the last detail. It also explains difficult relationships clearly. Summaries of the most important chapter contents, many quotations and subheadings make the demanding material easier to digest. The reader not only learns how diabetes develops and what goes wrong in the body, but also the influence of lifestyle, especially diet.
The result is a book that calls for nothing less than a paradigm shift in diabetes therapy.
Who wrote it?
Svea Golinske is a science journalist and is used to getting to the bottom of things. In doing so, she is not afraid to critically question cemented therapy standards with the help of the current study situation. She has also suffered from type 1 diabetes herself since she was a teenager. It is not curable (unlike type 2), but it can be stabilized considerably through diet and exercise.
Who cares?
Informative for everyone who suffers from diabetes - whether type 1 or type 2. But also for everyone else who wants to eat healthily.
Our conclusion
Not easy fare. But it is definitely recommended for those affected and those interested in nutrition who are ready to deal with the clearly described, but nevertheless complex, contexts.
Quote: "From today's perspective, it is no longer understandable why a diet that requires a lot of insulin is recommended as healthy."
