National data suggests a six-fold increase from around 1% of the population in 1980 to over 6% in 2020. Research and practice are challenging the traditional way in which we approach and manage DM2 - and offer too the potential for prevention - at scale. A central tenet of the book is that people can be educated, empowered and supported to control their metabolic health and to prevent, improve and manage DM2. We want to present a fresh and balanced individual take on the science around DM2 with an examination of the belief systems and behaviours that have fuelled its rise. As well as a section looking at mental health problems and DM2, we want to thread psychological and behavioural themes throughout the text.
