Book Review ‘Type 2 Diabetes: Causes, Prevention and Measures Relieve It’ (Malay Version)

Written by Bahrin Samah, this book started with the question of whether type 2 diabetes can be cured or not? Doctors and nutritionists or conventional dietetic experts usually state that diabetes can be controlled but cannot be cured. In other words, even if you are taking modern medicines to control the level of glucose while undergoing an appropriate and healthy lifestyle, you will continue to experience diabetes throughout your life. Therefore, from the point of modern medicine, healing for Type 2 Diabetes does not exist. Type 2 diabetes is a very serious health condition. It is also a growing epidemic that does not only occur in developed countries, but also in developing countries. Most cases of Type 2 Diabetes are believed to be due to excessive and prolonged process of carbohydrate intake. At the beginning of the 20th century, Type 2 Diabetes is usually experienced by those aged 40 and above, but today it faces young people. Most diabetes terms used in this book refer to Type 2 Diabetes. The usual symptom pathways to diabetes are like high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, high cholesterol levels and high LDL-cholesterol levels and low HDL-cholesterol levels. From the point of modern medicine, every symptom will be treated separately.
