    Diabetic symptoms are not always easy to identify. Type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes, all stem from the same cause but the medical community places a subcategory to help them take into consideration other age-related issues that might be present. All these signs of diabetes can be found in this book, and explain the reasons why they are happening, so you can better understand how to respond to this diagnosis. Basically, the pancreas has lost the ability to convert sugars into energy causing the diabetic to often start taking insulin shots. 
      
    Diabetes is a very serious disease that can bring a lifetime of medical issues, including death, so understanding how it got started, how to prevent it, and in some cases reverse it, is vital if you have been diagnosed. Neuropathy, cardio-vascular issues, blindness, and sores that won't heal can often be corrected providing you have the correct information and learn how to reverse existing symptoms. However, under no circumstances should this book be used to replace our doctor's advice. Everyone is unique, and he will have more information about your personal condition than I do, so learn how to respond to diabetes, and once your chemistry is back in balance, reverse symptoms, and let your doctor decide if it is time to discontinue any treatments.

    The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
     
     
     
    The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
     
     
     
    This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.
