Set in the vibrant city of Cairo, this book weaves a narrative that encompasses not only the experiences of individuals living with diabetes in Egypt but also draws connections to a diabetes clinic in Denmark, a multinational medical company, and international diabetes research and guidelines. It sheds light on the pervasive uncertainty that permeates both the lives of those affected by diabetes in Cairo and the realm of medical research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its chapters, the book offers invaluable insights into the daily lives of individuals diagnosed with type-2 diabetes in Cairo.
