<p>I am interested in learning more about the mechanisms and the hows and whys of diabetes. Is there such a tome existing in the gray area of not overly dumbed down, yet not written in language suited for a pre-med student? Even if you are thinking of a diet book with a great background on this before it gets into the diet part of the book I would enjoy hearing your suggestions. </p> <p>To further be a pain in the ass I am looking for hardcover/paperback as I much prefer a physical book to electronic versions. Thanks! </p> <p>ETA: For added clarity I am not diabetic, I have been ketoadapting for some upcoming distance races and this has sparked my curiosity to know more.</p>

<p>Dr. Richard Bernstein's Diabetic Solution is the bible for good diabetic control through diet--the stuff they don't teach in medical school. He gives thorough, scholarly explanations that will help you see the whole picture. There's a newly revised version. </p> <p>You can look to his website for book excerpts and more to see if that's what you're looking for. <a href="http://www.diabetes-book.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.diabetes-book.com/</a></p> <p>Then you can buy the book. </p>

<p>Depends on whether you are a T1 or a T2.</p> <p>I second the recommendation for Bernstein - he more or less "invented" modern low-carbing for diabetics - and I personally credit his approach for getting my HbA1c from 10.2% to 4.9%. However, he is kind of hardcore, and lots of the refrences in the book are aimed at T1s rather than T2s.</p> <p>A more T2 friendly tome is Jenny Ruhl's Blood Sugar 101. </p> <p>It's not (only) about diabetes, but I'd also recommend Volek &amp; Phinney's "Art and Science of Low-Carb Living".</p> <p>I'd probably read them all.</p>
