A fascinating and moving memoir by a renowned physician and pioneer
of modern diabetes treatment. This account of a life's work is a
compelling read and essential for anyone affected by diabetes, an
illness that has reached epidemic levels across the world.
Following his medical training, during which he studied under a
roll call of eminent and eccentric professors, Jeremy Bending went
on to work at a variety of international posts, from the vibrant
and welcoming community he served in Accra during his elective
period, to his isolated and close-knit charges as a GP in remote
Newfoundland. It was upon returning from these travels that
Jeremy's career took its decisive turn. During his time as research
fellow at Guy's Hospital he was involved in the development of
insulin-pump treatment, a technological advance which would
revolutionise medical care for diabetes, and he has never looked
back, setting up a pioneering diabetes team and centre in
Eastbourne and becoming an internationally recognised authority on
the subject in the process. Jeremy's humanity and erudition are on
display throughout as he recounts touching incidents from his work
and personal life with a warmth and sincerity that has served him
well throughout his long and distinguished career as a `listening
doctor' - as opposed to one who `cuts anything out or sticks
anything in'. This book is littered with pertinent advice for those
affected by diabetes and features many patients' stories that will
help people with diabetes and their families better understand the
condition.
