Innovations in Diabetes
MengHee Tan MD
“Innovations is seeing what everyone has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.” Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine in1937.
In Innovations in Diabetes, Dr. MengHee Tan chronicles many innovations uncovered by various researchers around the world during diabetes’ over 3 millennia journey, many in the last 50 years.
This fascinating chronicle is replete with dramatic stories, some already made into spellbinding movies. Dr. Tan brings to life tales of this “sweet pee” or “too sweet” malady, from when it was first described in ancient times to today’s ways of preventing it and its dreaded complications.
When translated into patient care, these innovations pave the path for the evolution of diabetes care.
Innovations in Diabetes enables readers to appreciate and understand where we have been and where we are today in diabetes.
Advance Praise
“For anyone who enjoys history, especially the history of medicine and more specifically that of diabetes, “Innovations in Diabetes” is a must for one’s home library. The book written for patients in dialogue form, where patients, often at a reception or having coffee, ask practical questions about diabetes to a diabetes expert….The discussion is succinct, easy to comprehend, and authoritative…fellows in endocrinology finishing their training in diabetes will all want to own this book.”
Irl B Hirsch MD, Professor of Medicine, Washington University, USA.
