Traveling with Sugar - Chronicles of a Global Epidemic (Hardcover): Amy Moran-Thomas Traveling with Sugar - Chronicles of a Global Epidemic (Hardcover)
Amy Moran-Thomas
R2,585 Discovery Miles 25 850 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Traveling with Sugar reframes the rising diabetes epidemic as part of a five-hundred-year-old global history of sweetness and power. Amid eerie injuries, changing bodies, amputated limbs, and untimely deaths, many people across the Caribbean and Central America simply call the affliction "sugar"-or, as some say in Belize, "traveling with sugar." A decade in the making, this book unfolds as a series of cronicas-a word meaning both slow-moving story and slow-moving disease. It profiles the careful work of those "still fighting it" as they grapple with unequal material infrastructures and unsettling dilemmas. Facing a new incarnation of blood sugar, these individuals speak back to science and policy misrecognitions that have prematurely cast their lost limbs and deaths as normal. Their families' arts of maintenance and repair illuminate ongoing struggles to survive and remake larger systems of food, land, technology, and medicine.

Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes - Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide (Paperback): Raj S Bhopal Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes - Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide (Paperback)
Raj S Bhopal
R1,655 Discovery Miles 16 550 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In people with South Asian ancestry, the cardiovascular diseases of stroke and coronary heart disease (CVD) are epidemic, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is pandemic. As South Asians comprise about 25% of the world's population their high susceptibility is of global public health and clinical importance. Eluding researchers across the globe, this phenomenon continues to be a subject of intensive enquiry. As Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, points out, the epidemics of chronic diseases, which he describes as a public health emergency in slow motion, can be restrained but not stopped. With a focus on the global South Asian population, Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide is a critical review of current literature investigating the increase in cases of CVD and DM2, and the data underpinning them. The book argues that the high risk of CVD and DM2 in urbanised South Asians is not inevitable, genetic, or programmed in a fixed way. Rather, exposure to risk factors in childhood, adolescence, and most particularly in adulthood, is the key to unravelling its cause. Drawing on current scientific literature and discussions with 22 international scholars, the book presents a unique synthesis of theory, research, and public health practice under one cover - from tissue research to human intervention trials. It also addresses the challenge many health professionals face in developing countries: to produce focused, low cost and effective actions for combating CVD and DM2. The lessons contained within will have ramifications in healthcare across the globe Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: Explaining the Phenomenon in South Asians Worldwide is ideal for scholars, researchers and health practitioners working towards understanding and preventing the epidemics of these modern chronic diseases across the world.

Depression and Type 2 Diabetes (Paperback): Khalida Ismail, Andreas Barthel, Stefan R. Bornstein, Julio Licinio Depression and Type 2 Diabetes (Paperback)
Khalida Ismail, Andreas Barthel, Stefan R. Bornstein, Julio Licinio
R1,949 Discovery Miles 19 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Type 2 diabetes is a major global health concern, and is predicted to affect between 10% to 25% of the world's population in the next 20 years. This epidemic is mostly attributed to ageing populations and unhealthy lifestyles. Thusly, understanding how the mind interacts with the body is essential in unlocking the psychological, biological, and sociocultural processes that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and make it such a difficult condition to treat. Depression is a common co-morbid condition and when both conditions are present, this poses a significant challenge to patients, clinicians, and health care systems globally. Depression and Type 2 Diabetes is a unique resource offering a fresh scientific approach to this frequent co-morbidity. Using the latest research and guidelines, this resource provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the subject at the different stages of human lifespan, from the uterine environment where the metabolic thermostat is first set, to growing old with diabetes. Written and edited by international experts in diabetes and depression, Depression and Type 2 Diabetes reviews, critiques, and advances the latest research on the prevalent and complex relationship between depression and type 2 diabetes.

Rethinking Diabetes - Entanglements with Trauma, Poverty, and HIV (Hardcover): Emily Mendenhall Rethinking Diabetes - Entanglements with Trauma, Poverty, and HIV (Hardcover)
Emily Mendenhall; Foreword by Mark Nichter
R3,756 Discovery Miles 37 560 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In Rethinking Diabetes, Emily Mendenhall investigates how global and local factors transform how diabetes is perceived, experienced, and embodied from place to place. Mendenhall argues that the link between sugar and diabetes overshadows the ways in which underlying biological processes linking hunger, oppression, trauma, unbridled stress, and chronic mental distress produce diabetes. The life history narratives in the book show how deeply embedded these factors are in the ways diabetes is experienced and (re)produced among poor communities around the world. Rethinking Diabetes focuses on the stories of women living with diabetes near or below the poverty line in urban settings in the United States, India, South Africa, and Kenya. Mendenhall shows how women's experiences of living with diabetes cannot be dissociated from their social responsibilities of caregiving, demanding family roles, expectations, and gendered experiences of violence that often displace their ability to care for themselves first. These case studies reveal the ways in which a global story of diabetes overlooks the unique social, political, and cultural factors that produce syndemic diabetes differently across contexts. From the case studies, Rethinking Diabetes clearly provides some important parallels for scholars to consider: significant social and economic inequalities, health systems that are a mix of public and private (with substandard provisions for low-income patients), and rising diabetes incidence and prevalence. At the same time, Mendenhall asks us to unpack how social, cultural, and epidemiological factors shape people's experiences and why we need to take these differences seriously when we think about what drives diabetes and how it affects the lives of the poor.

R1,174 Discovery Miles 11 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This work includes foreword by Ian Botham, OBE, former England Cricket Captain and father of a daughter with Type 1 Diabetes. This groundbreaking book reveals how science and medicine have traditionally tried to make diabetes simple and orderly, despite its obvious messiness and complexity. The result has left patients, carers and health professionals confused and frustrated. Using complexity science, "Riding the Diabetes Rollercoaster" provides a radical new approach to understanding and managing diabetes that embraces its uncertainties and challenges. From a complexity perspective, the diabetes rollercoaster is normal and is a mirror of life itself. Learning to embrace and use the tools of complexity can completely alter your approach to diabetes. "Despite huge amounts of research, funding and effort, diabetes - like many other chronic illnesses - refuses to go away or even to get any easier to deal with. Health professionals have grown increasingly frustrated with their inability to develop radical improvements; patients and carers struggle to comply with complicated self management regimes. We believe that Complexity offers a way forward. Learning to balance rather than control diabetes is the ultimate goal of diabetes management." - Helen Cooper and Robert Geyer, in the Preface.

Dieses Kochbuch soll nur ein Leitfaden sein, nach dem jede geschickte Kochin unter Zuhilfe nahme der Speisezettel und der Kochrezepte die Abwechslung fur obenerwahnte Kranke noch reichhaltiger gestalten kann.

Es wird in diesem Buche auch von den in allgemeinen Kochbuchern ublichen und not wendigen Erlauterungen abgesehen, da hier nur die Anwendung des Aleuronat-Mehles und Pep ton s behandelt werden soll, was einen wesentlichen Bestandteil in der Er nahrung der Zuckerkranken und Fettleibigen bildet.
