NUHS Faculty Member Writes Book About Diabetes
Jaya Prakash, MD, MPH, SM (NRCM), SM (ASCP), an adjunct professor at National
University, recently published a new book about diabetes and how it can be treated.
“DIABETES What’s the Big Deal?: In Plain English,” helps patients gain a better
understanding of what it means to receive a diabetes diagnosis and what to do once they get
one.
“It is especially useful for those who have risk factors for Type 2 diabetes especially
obesity, poor lifestyle and family history,” she said. “Many diabetics only take action when
complications arise and are sometimes surprised how much damage had already occurred
before they noticed.”
In addition to her background as a MD who has been teaching pathology and health for 35 years, Dr. Prakash has struggled
with obesity, Type 2 diabetes and a whole host of other medical issues herself.
“I sought help from my physicians and nutritionists until I discovered a clinically-proven solution and it changed my life,” she
said. “Not only did I attain a healthy weight but I truly transformed my mindset, lifestyle and relationships. I want to inspire
others to take action and help them in their journey.”
The book is available for purchase on Amazon.
