The 21st century insulin crisis sparks widespread protests and political discussions, yet the public's perception of diabetes remains largely unchanged. Popular media representations often portray diabetes as a condition solely linked to lifestyle choices, reinforcing societal stereotypes and misconceptions. In their groundbreaking volume (Un)doing Diabetes, the authors challenge these pervasive depictions by destabilizing them, offering assertions that may initially seem counterintuitive. (Un)doing Diabetes is a pioneering collection of essays that employs disability studies to examine representations of diabetes across various mediums, including Twitter, television, film, theater, fiction, fanfiction, fashion, and more. By adopting a disability studies perspective on diabetes, the book locates individual experiences of the condition within the broader historical and contemporary social contexts. Through the lens of undoing diabetes, the authors deconstruct prevailing assumptions about diabetes held by the public, while writers doing diabetes present alternative narratives crafted by community members to represent themselves. This collection holds immense interest for scholars, activists, caregivers, and individuals living with diabetes, offering valuable insights and perspectives on the multifaceted nature of this chronic condition.
