Dr Kraft discovered something that most Drs. take for granted when they draw blood:
You can have NORMAL glucose levels but extremely HIGH and PERSISTENT levels of Insulin at the same time. He developed the Insulin assay...aka the Kraft test to measure this.
Please read this book...even if you are considered healthy...then take a look at the epidemic of "diobesity" growing around the world and you'll see where we are headed and what needs to change.

The good: Identifying the problem (hyperinsulinemia) as the underlying cause of a whole host of health ills, and advocating for the use of blood tests that accurately measure said problem (as opposed to those that only detect the worst cases).
The bad: Advising insulin therapy for type 2 diabetics (they already had far too much!), and relying on poor lifestyle intervention tactics (standard pyramid low-fat diet, exercise) to solve the problem while we figure out some sort of pill that makes the problem go away.

I liked the book. It sheds light on a very important topic that is not common knowledge yet.
My only concern would be the date of publication and studies listed that are over 10 years old. Maybe an upgraded version of the book with newer references or time related changes could be useful.

Fearmongering and state mandated orthodoxy in a case where most data is speculation or correlation.

The insulin resistance part is ingenious, but the dieatry guidelines for managment are heavily flawed.

Every one should read this book
Every one should hit a copy to their doctor. We should all work hard, eat right, and get much healthier. My eyes were opened by this simple book.

Informative
Dietary recommendations don't include LCHF etc. But the diagnostic information is excellent. Insulin resistance and complications can happen at any age.
