About this book

The purpose of this handbook is to give the practitioner a quick overview of type 2 diabetes, along with practical suggestions for the management of this condition. This serves to counteract any unnecessary complications (which are also discussed) that can arise out of living with this condition.

The book will cover not only ways in which patients can help themselves through healthy eating and exercise, but will also provide a detailed yet easy reference guide to possible medical therapies and drugs such as insulin. Patient education is also touched upon.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This thorough … review of diabetes management for primary care physicians covers topics ranging from the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, through treatment strategies, to the need for multidisciplinary care and patient education. The text is augmented with numerous summary tables and algorithms for quick reference. … Family practitioners and primary care physicians taking care of diabetic patients are the intended audience, but the book also would be a good resource for students and residents taking care of patients with diabetes.” (Lindsay E. Bromley, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2009)
