[rad-green] Diabetes, Inc.

*Diabetes, Inc.*

*The discovery of insulin by Canadians Frederick Banting, Charles Best and
James Collip in 1921 transformed diabetes from a fatal to a chronic
disease. Today, a century later, Canada doesn’t produce a drop of insulin,
depending instead on three corporations that control 95% of the world
market. Colleen Fuller and Audrey Farley explore how both culture and
commercial interests have shaped the clinical history of the disease since
that momentous discovery nearly 100 years ago. *

*Their forthcoming book, Diabetes, Inc. argues that the medical practices
surrounding diabetes have reflected, not the wisdom of objective
clinicians, but rather, the agendas of stakeholders ranging from biased
medical professionals to profit-driven drug manufacturers.*

*Check out their new website which will provide a kind of
“book-in-progress” and a blog series that provides an important critique of
the diabetes industry. *
