A travel memoir through thirty countries, a thousand insulin injections, and one man’s journey from despair to confidence. With tips and information from the American Diabetes Association. In the middle of a yearlong backpacking trip around the world with his wife, Oren Liebermann is teaching English to young Buddhist monks in Pokhara, Nepal, when his body begins to fail him. He is constantly thirsty and exhausted, and by the time he steps on a scale, he has lost forty-five pounds. At a local clinic, a doctor gives him a diagnosis that will change his life forever: “I’m sorry to tell you, my friend, that you are a diabetic.” Devastated, Liebermann is trapped in a freezing hospital room, trying to recover enough to fly home. His friends and family urge him to call off the rest of his trip. He had quit his job as a TV news reporter for this dream-come-true journey, but the nightmare diagnosis has thrown his world into disarray. However, Liebermann and his wife, Cassie, make a decision. They have an adventure to finish, and he has the rest of his life to live. Bold, raw, and poignantly candid, The Insulin Express tells the story of what happens when the best-made travel plans are subject to the ever-present chaos of life, and how a major setback can turn into the opportunity of a lifetime. Despite struggling with a chronic disease that almost kills him in the Himalayas, Liebermann hikes along the Great Wall of China, conquers the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and sips cobra whiskey in Laos. What begins as a travel chronicle across thirty countries transforms into a single journey of resilience and self-discovery—going from hopelessly lost and then wonderfully found.

What if doctors declared you would never again do the one thing you felt you were born to do? After surviving with diabetes for years, Erin Spineto was quickly losing her sanity. Buried beneath blood tests, injections, and medical devices, she had to do something drastic. A sailor at heart, could she give up her passion to play it safe with diabetes? If she went, her blood sugars could plummet while alone in the middle of the ocean. Seasickness could raise blood sugars and slam her into a diabetic coma, leaving her incapable of handling the boat. In “the most entertaining diabetes book I've read to date…," Erin navigates her twenty-two-foot sailboat down the Florida Keys as she fights winds, currents, and swells that threaten to capsize her. (Amy Tenderich, Founder and Editor of Diabetes Mine) In a time when doctors advised people with diabetes “avoid any extreme exertion,” will Erin push the boundaries of what is possible or find out the hard way she should have listened to the warnings? Fans of The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom and The Insulin Express will love this thrilling and uplifting story about one girl’s defiance of those who would stand in her way.

There is evidence that in addition to the pancreas, the brain also synthesizes insulin. Two clonal immortalized hypothalamic cell lines, N-39 and N-46, express insulin 2 (Ins2). 16.7 mM glucose stimulates Ins2 mRNA expression in N-39 cells. Forskolin and exendin-4 induce a biphasic Ins2 mRNA response in N-39 cells, while 17beta-estradiol does not significantly alter Ins2 mRNA levels. Using transient transfections, we have shown that mouse Ins2 -110/+183 luciferase construct contains stimulatory sequences in N-39 and N-46 cells, while there are repressor regions at more upstream base pairs. This pattern of activity is not seen in the MIN6 beta cell line. Exendin-4 does not alter the activity of mouse Ins2 promoter 5' regulatory regions from -1004 to + 183 base pairs in N-39 cells. These studies indicate that nutrients and hormones regulate the expression of hypothalamic insulin, and the insulin cis-regulatory regions differ between the pancreas and the hypothalamus.

To obey the precepts of therapeutic rationality, we should avoid treating the "effect" when there is a way to attack the cause. But what is the cause of diabetes? Diabetes is a molecular disease, that is, a disease in which important cellular components are seriously impaired. Eventually, the activities or the products arising from the impairment find expression in various ways, finally culminating in the abnormalities of diabetes. How early is early enough to attempt to delay this sequence of events? What will provide us with the basis to explore ways and means of halting the progression of the pathological process? What are the new approaches for the treatment of early diabetes? The Fourth International Symposium on Early Diabetes, sponsored by the Diabetes Center of the New York Medical College, held in Algarve, Portugal in November 1978, from which this book evolved, attempted to answer some of these questions. A list of the participants, including their affiliations, will be found preceding the index. Rafael A. Camerini-Davalos v Acknowledgments To our sponsors, U.S.V.

Five years ago, a new system of classification of the various types of diabetes was proposed. This publication provides an inte grated picture of the latest information on the similarities and dissimilarites of two types of diabetes. It contains contributions from morphologists, physiologists, biochemists, immunologists, pathologists, geneticists, clinicians and epidemiologists. In the first section, the basis for the present classification and its limitations are discussed. In addition, there is a discussion of gestational diabetes and heterogeneity of some sub-classes of diabetes. The next section deals with genetics and immunology. The third section discusses abnormalities of insulin secretion and act ion on both the receptor and post . . . receptor levels. The role of gastrointestinal peptides in Type I and Type II diabetes is also considered. In the last section, both types of diabetes are compared with respect to diabetic complications. The closing sec tion summarizes the present status and offers a stimulating view of future development. We hope that this book will be a useful source of information for both researchers and practicing clinicians. M. Vranic G. steiner C. H. Hollenberg v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The symposium from which this volume arose (June 28-29, 1984) was organized by the Banting and Best Diabetes Centre, University of Toronto.

Before the discovery of insulin, a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes was a death sentence. To mark the centenary of this landmark in medicine, this book charts the journey of how insulin was transformed from what one clinician called 'thick brown muck' into the very first drug to be produced using genetic engineering, and which earned the founders of US biotech company Genentech a small fortune. Taking the reader on a fascinating journey, starting with the discovery of insulin in the 1920s through to the present day, Insulin - The Crooked Timber reveals a story of monstrous egos, toxic career rivalries, and a few unsung heroes and heroines. It discusses in detail the circumstances of Canadian scientist Frederick Banting whose award of the 1923 Nobel Prize for this life-saving discovery proved to be both a blessing and a curse for him and explores how the human story behind this discovery still remains one of ongoing political and scientific controversy. The book is the result of the author's own shocking diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes and its story reminds us all of what technology can - and cannot do - for us. As the world struggles to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and face future challenges such as climate change, the lessons that we can learn from the story of insulin have never been more important.
