Staged Diabetes Management 2/e

Using evidence-based medicine, this title addresses the prominent
issues of primary care diabetes management. It provides practical
solutions to the detection and treatment of diabetes, its
complications and such new areas as metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes
and diabetes in children. The text reviews the fundamental basis of
diabetes management and then addresses treatment of each type of
diabetes and the major micro- and macrovascular complications.
This Revised Second Edition uniquely focuses on advanced technologies
and advanced therapeutics. Key changes include: Integration of
incretin hormones in the basic pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes;
Incretin mimetics and potentiators; Revised clinical decision paths
with new medications and advanced insulin algorithms; New section on
continuous glucose monitoring.

Staged Diabetes Management: A Systematic Approach, Second Edition,
Revised presents a clear set of clinical algorithms consistent with
the EASD/ADA recommended algorithms. It provides a means of applying
the principles using a proven methodology and one that has been
applied internationally.

Based on the highly successful diabetes programmes for primary care
developed by the the world-renowned International Diabetes Center in
Minneapolis, USA
Features Decision Paths and Practice Guidelines to facilitate
clinical decision making
Clearly written and illustrated: each chapter may be read alone but
complements the others to give a broad view of diabetes care
This title is an invaluable guide for healthcare professionals,
particularly primary care physicians, diabetes specialist nurses, and
for all those with an interest in diabetes. It is also useful for all
Diabetes educators and medical students.
