Written in an easily understandable manner, this book explains the biochemistry behind diabetes, one of the most widely increasing illnesses today. It also discusses the most up-to-date detection, treatment, and management techniques for this debilitating disease. Taking a biochemical perspective, this book is written for clinical chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, medical technologists, medical students, residents, and physicians. The coverage explores technical concepts in easily understandable terms using a glossary, footnotes, and thorough explanations of what otherwise would be complex terminology and concepts.
A clear explanation of the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes
Written for a broad range of readers, including students, researchers, policymakers, health care providers, and diabetes patients and caregivers, this book explains the underlying biochemistry and physiology of diabetes mellitus. Each chapter contains a glossary that defines key terms, a summary that highlights essential concepts discussed in each section of the chapter, as well as a set of simple problems to help readers gain a richer and deeper understanding of diabetes, from its history to treatment options.
Understanding Diabetes begins with an overview of the disease, its worldwide prevalence and cost, and its connection to the global obesity epidemic. The author then explores the history of diabetes, including the first documented description of the disease dating back to 3400 BCE in Ancient Egypt. The next chapter, A Glucose Metabolism Primer, sets forth the pathways for the metabolism of glucose. Next, the book covers:
Regulation of glucose metabolism and glucose metabolism gone wrong
Diabetes classification system
Diagnosis, including current laboratory tests
Complications, such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease
Hereditary transmission
Prevention and treatment, including emerging research
Although a cure has still not been found, this book demonstrates that researchers are continuing to make major breakthroughs on all fronts in the fight against diabetes, including a better understanding of its causes and an improved ability to diagnose and treat the disease.
