Many people have asked me why I've written this book. The reason is
simple. Although I have lived around diabetes since I was seven
years old, even though several of my friends and neighbours were
diagnosed with the condition years ahead of my own recent
diagnosis, it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I truly realised
the terrifying level of apathy and denial there is about diabetes,
the minefield of misinformation that is out there, nor how enormous
the spread of this global pandemic has become. There are countless
books and theories and claims and counterclaims about diabetes, and
in no way is this modest little publication designed to be the
ultimate authority on the disease - far from it. No, my reason for
doing this is to make you laugh, make you think, wake you up and
show you both how easy and how important it is that you take
responsibility and take it seriously... NOW. My father was a
pharmaceutical chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health
(London), chairman of an international pharmaceutical company...
and a diabetic. He was diagnosed with Type Two diabetes when he was
36 years old, slim bordering on skinny, active and otherwise
healthy. His career began in medical research and ultimately took
him all over the world from the darkest corners of West Africa to
the most fashionable quarters of Paris and the Caribbean. In the
process he met some of the finest medical minds on the planet (many
of whom are still my personal friends) and he witnessed some
horrors that defy belief... and he did all this as a diabetic.
Open, raw, honest, at times funny, at times poignant, at times
unapologetically confrontational, this book is designed to inspire,
assist and guide you - particularly if you are pre-diabetic, newly
diagnosed with diabetes Type Two, or if you are a friend or family
member of a diabetic. All facts and statistics in this book have
sources from the official authorities on diabetes... my irreverent
language and tone have not * Enjoy * Be inspired * Take action
