Around 500,000 people in the UK suffer from type 1 diabetes - about 10% of the total community of people who suffer from diabetes overall. It can develop at any age, but usually appears before the age of 40 and often in childhood. Up until now there has been very little practical guidance for people suffering with type 1 diabetes since the main foundation of advice has focused on regular insulin injections.However, in the 17 years Dr David Cavan ran his diabetes clinic at the Bournemouth Diabetes and Endocrine Centre he discovered there are actually a great many things you can do to manage the condition, minimise its side effects and improve your overall health. For example, one of the key things sufferers can do to help themselves is to eat a very low carb diet. This cutting-edge and practical book presents his findings and advice and will offer genuine hope to sufferers and their families.
