This book explores the mechanisms of Diabetes Mellitus, along with the history of the condition, methods of managing it, and the ways in which various global factors can affect both the condition itself and its study. It also explores vascular complications that can arise, and reviews the risks, challenges and ethics which affect health outcomes for indigenous populations within the country of Canada.

Finally, it delves into a healthcare professional's perspective on Diabetes Mellitus, and closes with an interview conducted with a person living with Type 1 Diabetes.
