n this thought-provoking book, The Philosophy of Diabetes delves beyond the medical and biological dimensions of diabetes to uncover its ethical, social, and existential implications for individuals and society. More than a condition marked by the body's inability to regulate blood glucose, diabetes becomes a lens through which we examine the nature of health, autonomy, and identity in a world increasingly defined by chronic illnesses.

Through philosophical inquiry, this book addresses profound questions: What does it mean to live a healthy life when self-care becomes a daily struggle? How do individuals navigate the complexities of identity as their condition shapes their existence?

Ethical issues such as access to equitable healthcare and societal responsibility take center stage, shedding light on disparities in education, resources, and support for diabetic individuals. The book also ventures into existential territory, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and empowerment as individuals confront the challenges of diabetes management.

The Philosophy of Diabetes is more than a discussion about illness—it is a compassionate exploration of what it means to live meaningfully in the face of imperfection. Perfect for readers seeking a deeper understanding of chronic illness, healthcare ethics, and the human spirit, this book challenges conventional perspectives and invites us to reconsider our approach to health and well-being.

Whether you are living with diabetes, caring for someone who is, or simply curious about the broader implications of chronic conditions, this book offers a compelling and insightful journey.
