Diabetes is a
chronic health problem with devastating, yet preventable consequences. It is
characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin
production, insulin action, or both. This book describes everything about
diabetes.
This book contains a series of up-to-date chapters that
review our current knowledge of type 1 diabetes as an autoimmune disease, the
problems that still remain with existing treatments, and possible solutions for
the near future.
This book is intended to serve as a general
learning material for diabetes mellitus by the health center team. This book can
also be used by other categories of health professionals. It should be kept in
mind, though, that it is not a substitute for standard textbooks.
Type 2 diabetes
is primarily due to obesity and not enough exercise in people who are
genetically predisposed. In this book we reviewed insulin secretion in both
healthy individuals and in patients with type 2 diabetes. Because of the risk
associated with progression from insulin resistance to diabetes and
cardiovascular complications increases along a continuum, we included several
chapters on the damage of endothelial cells in type 2 diabetes and genetic
influences on endothelial cell dysfunction.
This book is intended as an overview of recent progress in type 1 diabetes
research worldwide, with a focus on different research areas relevant to this
disease. These include: diabetes mellitus and complications, psychological
aspects of diabetes, perspectives of diabetes pathogenesis, identification and
monitoring of diabetes mellitus, and alternative treatments for diabetes.
This note covers the following topics: medical nutrition therapy for
diabetes, basic dietary guidelines, hypoglycemia, more information specifically
for treating the patient with type2 diabetes, managing lipid abnormalities,
managing blood pressure, type2 diabetes in childhood, pregnancy with preexisting
diabetes, gestational diabetes, medical nutrition therapy for diabetes and
pregnancy.
