Type 2 diabetes mellitus: an evidence-based approach to practical management

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 comorbidities of diabetes, including hypetension, 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.
