Dr Satchin Panda didn’t have to look far for inspiration when it came to his latest book. A professor and researcher at the prestigious Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, he was influenced by the groundbreaking work of the organisation’s founder Dr Jonas Salk, whose development of the polio vaccine proved the powerful message that prevention is the best cure.

In The Circadian Diabetes Code, Panda explores how sleeping, eating and exercising at the right times can help prevent and also reverse type 2 diabetes, a condition that affects more than 850,000 adults aged over 40 in Ireland.
