Description
Book SynopsisDiabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the amount of glucose in the blood.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.
Divided into six sections, the manual begins with an overview of diagnosis and classification, followed by discussion on epidemiology and aetiopathogenesis.
Section four covers comorbidities and complications of diabetes including hyper- and hypoglycaemia, heart failure, foot ulcers, and diabetic retinopathy. The final sections examine recent advances and technologies.
The detailed text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to assist learning.
