Bennett2019New York :New York University Press,[2019]Baltimore, Md. :Project MUSE,2021©[2019]1 online resource (180 pages)Biopolitics: medicine, technoscience, and health in the twenty-first century series1-4798-3043-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Critical conditions -- "HIV is the new diabetes" : analogies of apathy -- Lethal premonitions : fatalism and advocacy -- Containing Sotomayor : narratives of personal restraint -- Troubled interventions : "epidemic" logic and institutional oversight -- Cyborg dreams.A critical study of diabetes in the popular imaginationOver twenty-nine million people in the United States, more than nine percent of the population, have some form of diabetes. In Managing Diabetes, Jeffrey A. Bennett focuses on how the disease is imagined in public culture. Bennett argues that popular anecdotes, media representation, and communal myths are as meaningful as medical and scientific understandings of the disease. In focusing on the public character of the disease, Bennett looks at health campaigns and promotions as well as the debate over public figures like Sonia Sotomayor and her management of type 1 diabetes. Bennett examines the confusing and contradictory public depictions of diabetes to demonstrate how management of the disease is not only clinical but also cultural. Bennett also has type 1 diabetes and speaks from personal experience about the many misunderstandings and myths that are alive in the popular imagination. Ultimately, Managing Diabetes offers a fresh take on how disease is understood in contemporary society and the ways that stigma, fatalism, and health can intersect to shape diabetes’s public character. This disease has dire health implications, and rates keep rising. Bennett argues that until it is better understood it cannot be better treated.DiabetesTreatmentfast(OCoLC)fst00892199Health Knowledge, Attitudes, PracticeSocial StigmaPatientspsychologyDiabetes ComplicationsDiabetesDiabetesTreatmentDiabetesTreatment.Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice.Social Stigma.Patientspsychology.Diabetes Complications.Diabetes.DiabetesTreatment.616.4/62HEA039050MED027000bisacshBennett Jeffrey A(Jeffrey Allen),1974-1822506MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9911004793403321Managing Diabetes4388731UNINA
