Neither one of us began our career knowing that we’d become so involved in supporting people with diabetes. Our shared passion has always been to help people lead their best lives. We both wanted to support people through illness and lead them to better health. As medical and culinary professionals with decades of experience, we soon realized how healthful lifestyle components that could powerfully and positively influence well-being and prevent illness were often missing from people’s lives. On a daily basis, we recommend the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle for people in our care and influence to live better and longer. Fortunately, even though we’re based in the United States and England, countless principles of this ancient way of living can still be enjoyed today anywhere on the planet. According to the American Diabetes Association, 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes each year. In 2019, 37.3 million Americans, or 11.3 percent of the population, had diabetes. Many nations around the world aren’t far behind. There’s a need to offer positive, easy-to-implement practices that can prevent people from developing diabetes in the first place, as well as help them reverse, or at a very minimum, live their best life while dealing with it. You’re reading the 6th edition of Diabetes For Dummies, and you may be wondering why another edition is necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently suggested that as many as one in three adults in the United States will have diabetes by the year 2050. The International Diabetes Federation reports that 387 million people had diabetes in 2014 and that 552 million will have the disease by 2030 — that’s one in every ten people. There has never been a better time to reverse those grim statistics. At the time of writing this book, the amount of free references and information on diabetes, availability of healthful food choices, and information on powerful lifestyle medicine are better than ever. Our intention is to present them in a palatable manner that will enable you or your patients or loved ones to put them to good use. From Dr. Simon Poole: My journey to combine medical practice with writing and speaking on the subject of diet and lifestyle began several years ago when emerging evidence began to show how powerfully the way we live affects our chances of becoming ill or flourishing in good health. As physicians, we’re generally trained to approach our medical careers with the emphasis on using medicines to reverse established illness. However, I soon realized that the most rewarding approach to medicine was to combine the application of modern medical therapies with a broader paradigm to encourage and inspire people to take control of their health as much as possible through the ways they live their lives. Many of my patients in Cambridge, England, at first perceived that the journey to an improved lifestyle would be one of pain and misery, but they soon found the opposite to be true. Equipped with a greater understanding of the ways in which exercise and diet (in the form of positive nutrition) can dramatically improve well-being was key to their success. Soon patients who were following a Mediterranean lifestyle were showing powerfully improving results, mirroring as individuals the evidence that was being documented in scientific research. During my career, I’ve seen rates of obesity, diabetes, and the illnesses associated with these conditions soar. It’s become clear that a compelling need exists to look after growing numbers of people with diabetes in our communities with the best possible medical care but also to be empowered to choose the route to optimum health and well-being through wise and enjoyable lifestyle decisions. Though science and medicine can be complex and sometimes difficult to fully grasp, it’s also true that when communicated in a clear and concise way, the stories they tell and the secrets they can reveal may be understood by all. This is the journey on which we have the privilege to be your guides.
