Download or read book Doing Diabetes Differently written by Chad T. Lewis and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get off the blood sugar roller coaster! With Doing Diabetes Differently, Chad Lewis offers down-to-earth perspectives and approaches for all who struggle with diabetes. Lewis combines years of research with firsthand experience as he covers—sometimes provocatively—the mental, nutritional, exercise, and drugs-and-devices aspects of the disease. To present additional perspectives, the book includes commentaries from notable experts in the diabetes community. Among the topics covered are: • Why the current hierarchy of diabetes care isn’t working • A mental framework that goes beyond just treating symptoms of diabetes distress • Why “going on a diet” is futile and what dietary alternatives work • How to make the right exercise more achievable ​• Why less is more when it comes to diabetes drugs and how to best use diabetes devices Doing Diabetes Differently isn’t another how-to guide. Instead, it’s a place to discover a diabetes answer, a question to ask a care provider to get one, or a reference to consult to find one. If you’re frustrated and want a way to do diabetes differently (and better)—for yourself or someone you care for—this life-changing book is for you.

Download or read book Rethinking Diabetes written by Emily Mendenhall and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Doing Nutrition Differently written by Allison Hayes-Conroy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Hegemonic nutrition' is produced and proliferated by a wide variety of social institutions such as mainstream nutrition science, clinical nutrition as well as those less classically linked such as life science/agro-food companies, the media, family, education, religion and the law. The collective result is an approach to and practice of nutrition that alleges not only one single, clear-cut and consented-upon set of rules for 'healthy eating,' but also tacit criteria for determining individual fault, usually some combination of lack of education, motivation, and unwillingness to comply. Offering a collection of critical, interdisciplinary replies and responses to the matter of 'hegemonic nutrition' this book presents contributions from a wide variety of perspectives; nutrition professionals and lay people, academics and activists, adults and youth, indigenous, Chicana/o, Latina/o, Environmentalist, Feminist and more. The critical commentary collectively asks for a different, more attentive, and more holistic practice of nutrition. Most importantly, this volume demonstrates how this 'new' nutrition is actually already being performed in small ways across the American continent. In doing so, the volume empowers diverse knowledges, histories, and practices of nutrition that have been marginalized, re-casts the objectives of dietary intervention, and most broadly, attempts to revolutionize the way that nutrition is done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the 21st century insulin crisis provokes protest and political dialogue, public conception of diabetes remain firmly unchanged. Popular media representations portray diabetes as a condition couched in lifestyle choices. In the groundbreaking volume (Un)doing Diabetes, authors destabilize depictions so powerful, so subtle, and so unquestioned, that readers may find assertions counterintuitive. (Un)doing Diabetes is the first collection of essays to use disability studies to explore representations of diabetes across a wide range of mediums- from Twitter to TV and film, to theater, fiction, fanfiction, fashion and more. This disability studies approach to diabetes locates individual experiences of diabetes within historical and contemporary social conditions. In undoing diabetes, authors deconstruct assumptions the public commonly holds about diabetes, while writers doing diabetes present counter-narratives community members create to represent themselves. This collection will be of interest to scholars, activists, caregivers, and those living with diabetes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooking food for diabetics can be intimidating at first, but it need not be. This blog post is perfect for those who are new to cooking with diabetes in mind. I will break down the basics and provide you with plenty of recipes and ideas for simple, healthy meals that you can enjoy without having to worry about carbs or sugars. You can find my favorite high-fiber, low-carb recipes below! Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the body's ability to use sugar and its ability to produce insulin. However, most people do not understand that diabetes can be controlled and managed by changing the way they eat. There are a number of different types of diabetes and each person has been affected differently, however one thing is certain: managing diabetes is important for everyone with diabetes. Diabetics are prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which occurs when the body does not get enough glucose (sugar) from food. This can be dangerous if it happens in between meals or when you go without food altogether. Diabetics are also prone to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) which is caused by too much glucose in the body. This can lead to other serious medical conditions. If your blood sugar is of concern, you need to consider how food affects your body. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat all have an effect on blood sugar because they are broken down into glucose when digested. A food that is high in carbohydrates will raise your blood sugar more than a food that is low in carbohydrates while a protein-rich meal will do the opposite. This cookbook can help you create healthy meals that will help keep your blood sugar in check. It is important that not only do you watch what you eat, but that you learn how to cook foods that offer complete nutrition. You can make simple meals quickly with basic ingredients and if you combine them correctly, they will taste amazing!

Download or read book Handbook of Psychology and Diabetes written by Clare Bradley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook fulfils a pressing need within the area of psychological measurement in diabetes research and practice by providing access to material which has either been widely dispersed through the psychological and medical literature or has not previously been published. Journal articles describing the psychometric development of scales have rarely included the scales themselves but this book includes copies of scales and a wealth of additional information from unpublished theses, reports and recent manuscripts. You will find information about the reliability, validity, scoring, norms, and use of the measures in previous research presented in one volume. The Handbook is designed to help researchers and clinicians: · To select scales suitable for their purposes · To administer and score the scales correctly · To interpret the results appropriately. Dr. Clare Bradley is Reader in Health Psychology and Director of the Diabetes Research Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Dr. Bradley and her research group have designed, developed and used a wide variety of measures of psychological processes and outcomes. Many of these measures have been designed and developed specifically for people with diabetes. Together with diabetes-specific psychological measures developed by other researchers internationally, these instruments have played an important part in facilitating patient-centred approaches to diabetes research and clinical practice.
