Summary: "Many doctors tell their patients how to manage diabetes, but why should they simply manage it when they can be rid of it once and for all? Alexa Fleckenstein presents a plan to do just that by targeting the real cause of diabetes: inflammation. How to use the five essentials of health to achieve a diabetes-free life. Through easy, quick exercises (how does 5 minutes a day sound?); tasty, anti-inflammatory recipes; and many other innovative tips, Dr. Fleckenstein lays out a clear, manageable plan to leave diabetes behind.
