Product Description:

In this book, the authors of each chapter have synthesized the currently available evidence regarding specific issues in diabetes care. We begin with background information on the epidemiology and pathology of disease. Following are chapters addressing specific issues in the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Chapters integrating the best evidence for the evaluation and treatment of co-morbidities of diabetes, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and vascular disease collect a wealth of information in a single resource. Finally, we have highlighted related conditions, including fatty liver disease, pregnancy, and polycystic ovarian syndrome, and barriers to treatment, including stress, depression, and patient motivation.

The chapters in this book 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. We hope that this reference can provide practical guidance in a single resource for clinicians and scientist alike in our combined endeavor to provide the best care and new opportunities for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
