Written by award-winning investigative journalist Dan Hurley, Diabetes Rising is
a gripping expose of the quest for a cure for the disease that afflicts
hundreds of millions of people around the world. Hurley chronicles
today's diabetes epidemic-how the disease has grown so dramatically,
why the American Diabetes Association focuses its attention on just a
small handful of available treatments, and why the research being done
today doesn't look beyond accepted types of treatments. Just as Eric
Schlosser's Fast Food Nation uncovered the sordid details
leading to an epidemic of obesity, Dan Hurley uncovers the hidden
truths of what is being researched-and even more importantly, what is
not.
