Rethinking Diabetes

In Rethinking Diabetes, award-winning journalist Gary Taubes explores the complex history of diabetes research and treatment, highlighting how longstanding misconceptions have shaped current medical advice. The book challenges conventional approaches by emphasizing the role of diet—particularly reducing carbohydrates—in managing the disease, and calls for renewed clinical research to address ongoing health crises. Taubes’s work offers a thought-provoking reexamination of how medical guidance has evolved and its impact on those affected by diabetes.
