Diabetes In Context

Here I use diabetes as a global example of aging, inflammation, and the influence of the environment - lifestyle - on our health.  I draw from the work of Dr. Raymond Peat to discuss diabetes being so much more than high blood sugar.  What's behind diabetes?  Is it a disease of stress? Plus, I give a little history of my own personal development in the field of nutrition and health.
