Introduction

You’re reading the 5th edition of Diabetes For Dummies, and you may be wondering why another edition is necessary. The previous edition (published in 2012) had everything you needed to know to reverse the plague of diabetes, yet the problem seems to be increasing, not decreasing. Following are some of the possible explanations for this situation:

✔ Not enough people bought the last edition of the book.

✔ Even if they bought it, not enough people followed the recommendations in the book.

✔ Too many people aren’t even aware that this book exists.

✔ No book or books can stop an avalanche after the snow starts rolling downhill.

✔ Some new information, not available three years ago, may be able to make a major difference toward reversing diabetes, especially the information in Chapter 9.

The real answer is actually all of the above (and probably more reasons).

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 on the earth. In a previous edition of this book, I set this figure at 366 million by 2030, so you can see that today’s predictions are even more dire than those of four years ago. This increase is because the population is aging, minority groups who have a higher risk for diabetes are increasing, and, fortunately, people with diabetes are living longer. However, these numbers are based on past trends. The prediction will not turn out to be true if people improve their lifestyle choices through the means discussed in this book.

Over the last decade, a large study was performed in Germany to see if lifestyle change could make a difference. Four major factors were evaluated in over 23,000 Germans. The factors were
