Diabetes. It is set to be an an edemic in India. One out of every 8th Indian will be a Diabetic. India is the world Diabetes Capital.
And yet most of us have a very vague understanding of Diabetes. All that we know is that it involves some blood sugar. We realise it is more than that when it starts affecting various organs, piles up hospital bills or severely curbs our lifestyle. And yet our understanding of this disease is very vague and patchy.
Now luckily we have a doctor, Author: Dr Nirav Panchmatia, who himself is a Diabetic and who faced a near death scenario due to Diabetes and who then dissected this disease enough to put it in plain and simple language for a layman.
The initial chapters deal with his personal horror story with Diabetes and its complications.
The next chapters deal with whhat exactly is Diabetes.
The remaining chapters are very wholly divided into the 4 facets of a Diabetics life: Insulin, Food, Exercise, Lifestyle.
This book is a blessing for Type 1 Diabetics (on Insulin) and Type 2 Diabetics (usually on oral medications) . This book also explores the false beliefs and myths that the people on Oral anti-diabetes medication like to fool their own selves.
The Book: No Sugar Please, I am Diabetic is a must read for every person who is a Diabetic, has a Diabetic in the family, has a family history of Diabetes.
