Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781838954581 Publisher: Allen & Unwin Age Range: Adult readers Overview How To Reverse Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes is a clear, evidence-based guide for anyone wanting to take control of their metabolic health. Written by consultant endocrinologist Dr David Cavan, it explains why modern lifestyles are driving so many people towards prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and sets out practical, sustainable changes that can genuinely reverse the disease process. It's a hopeful, accessible read for patients, families, and anyone recently diagnosed who wants a trustworthy roadmap back to better health. About the Book This paperback distils decades of clinical experience into a single, easy-to-follow guide. Dr Cavan explains in plain language how insulin resistance develops, why standard advice often falls short, and what actually works when it comes to reversing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. The book advocates a diet built around fresh, whole foods, cutting back on sugar, refined carbohydrates and heavily processed products, alongside simple, realistic ways to build more movement into everyday life. Rather than promoting a rigid quick-fix plan, it focuses on sustainable behaviour change, helping readers understand their own bodies and make informed choices that fit their circumstances. Drawing on his years as a consultant endocrinologist at the Bournemouth Diabetes and Endocrine Centre and his international policy work, Cavan blends rigorous clinical evidence with real-world case studies and encouragement. The result is a book that feels less like a medical textbook and more like having a knowledgeable, supportive doctor guide you through the process step by step. Chapters cover the science of diabetes and prediabetes, the food choices that matter most, exercise strategies for all fitness levels, and how to track progress and stay motivated for the long term. It is equally useful as a first introduction for the newly diagnosed and as a deeper resource for those who have struggled with previous advice.
