Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects how the body manages blood sugar, or glucose, which is a key source of energy. In a healthy system, the hormone insulin helps move glucose from the bloodstream into cells. In people with Diabetes Mellitus, this process is disrupted, leading to high blood sugar levels.

There are three main types.

Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, meaning the body produces little or no insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes, the most common type, develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. Gestational Diabetes can occur during pregnancy and usually resolves after birth, though it increases future risk.

Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision loss.

Management depends on the type but often includes a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, and medication or insulin therapy.

While there is no cure, many people live full and active lives by carefully managing the condition and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
