An eye-opening investigation into the history of diabetes research and treatment, arguing for a diet-based alternative to medical treatments, from the best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar.

Over 400 million people around the world have been diagnosed with diabetes. Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated through diet, from eating purely meat to the reliance on fats, and repeated fasting. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, including the occasional ice-cream, leaving the job of controlling the disease to insulin therapy. However, this guiding principle has been accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes over the last fifty years, and the expectation that sufferers' health will deteriorate steadily over time. In this ground-breaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes explores the history of the treatment of diabetes, elucidating the way that badly conceived research influences the guidance that doctors offer today, at the expense of patients' long-term well-being. Passionately argued and deeply researched, Rethinking Diabetes reimagines diabetes care with diet at its centre, and is hugely persuasive in its questioning of the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity.

'Rethinking Diabetes is more than a definitive account of the greatest health epidemic of our time. It is also a roadmap powerful enough to change and save lives, all laid out by a master researcher who builds his case on unshakeable foundations until a simple and stunning truth emerges.'
Robert Kurson, author of Rocket Men

'Gary Taubes has a well-earned reputation as a brilliant and fearless scientific thinker. He also happens to be a remarkable historian and writer. I'm going to recommend Rethinking Diabetes to everyone I know at risk who wants to be healthy. I'm also going to recommend it to my science writing students as a model of how it's done.'
Sam Apple, author of Ravenous

'A fascinating deep dive into the history of diabetes and how new treatment paradigms may be game- changing.'
Jason Fung, MD, author of The Obesity Code
