Type 2 diabetes often smolders on for a long time before it is recognized and diagnosed—it is believed that there are hundreds of thousands of undiagnosed cases. This book gives the basic information needed to understand what type 2 diabetes is, how to recognize it, and, most essentially, how to manage it, including details on the symptoms of type 2 diabetes; risk factors for type 2 diabetes and how to reduce those risks; the various medicinal treatments and support available; and changes to daily routines, diet, exercise, and attitude that can improve life with type 2 diabetes.

Went over this book with my dad and we found a lot of it very interesting and helpful. He's going to have a class with his doctors soon on the topic so we didn't spend too much time overthinking anything from it, but my favorite section was the chapter on the history of diabetes.
