Beschreibung

In this practical book, the authors of each chapter have synthesized the currently available evidence regarding specific issues in diabetes care. The book begins with background information on the epidemiology and pathology of disease. Following chapters address specific issues in the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Chapters integrating the best evidence for the evaluation and treatment of comorbidities of diabetes, including hypetension, hyperlipidemia, and vascular disease collect a wealth of information in a single resource. Finally, the book highlights related conditions, including fatty liver disease, pregnancy and polycystic ovarian syndrome. The chapters have been written by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and medical professionals. Such an approach emphasizes the need for collaboration in the care of any individual with diabetes and in the effort to find new therapies for the disease.
