Diabetes is one of the most widespread modern diseases. It’s estimated that up to 400 million people in the world have diabetes. Over half of U.S. adults have diabetes or pre-diabetes. The World Health Organization predicts that by the year 2030, diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in the world. Diabetes doubles the risk of overall death and someone with diabetes is expected to have a 5-10 year shorter life expectancy.

Being a man is bad for your health. Not only do men have a greater chance of getting almost every illness but they die sooner too: one in five men die before the age of 65. So why do so many men still accept poor health as a consequence of 'just getting older'? In MAN ALIVE, Dr Jeff Foster, men's health specialist and private GP, examines the most commonly misunderstood aspects of men's health, such as testosterone deficiency and 'male menopause', heart disease, diabetes and mental health.

Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated almost exclusively through diet, from subsistence on meat, to reliance on fats, to repeated fasting and near-starvation regimens. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, leaving the job of controlling their disease to insulin therapy and other blood-sugar-lowering medications.
