Clinical Dilemmas in Diabetes answers the clinical questions commonly
encountered when diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with
diabetes and its associated complications. Designed to support informed,
evidence-based care, this authoritative clinical guide includes
contributions from leading endocrinologists and diabetes researchers
that discuss a diverse range of recent developments. Concise and focused
chapters cover prediabetes, diabetes diagnosis, initial evaluation and
management, disease complications, and cardiovascular disease and risk
factors.
Now in its second edition, Clinical Dilemmas in Diabetes contains
extensively reviewed and revised information throughout. New and updated
chapters examine prediction, diagnosis, and management of early Type 1
diabetes, ophthalmic complications, screening asymptomatic patients for
cardiovascular disease, new agents for treatment of dyslipidemia, closed
loop systems in Type 1 diabetes, upper gastrointestinal manifestations,
managing hyperglycemia in critically ill patients, and more. Edited by
Dr. Vella at the Mayo Clinic, this highly practical resource:
- Encourages evidence-based clinical decision-making, rather than
algorithm-based approaches
- Provides clear guidance on common problematic areas, especially in
cases where conflicts in treatment for the disease and the
complications occur
- Emphasizes the importance of translating the results of clinical
trials to individual care and management of diabetes
- Contains effective learning and revision tools, including Learning
Points, chapter introductions and summaries, tables and figures, color
diagrams and charts, and full references
Part of the popular Clinical Dilemmas series, Clinical Dilemmas in
Diabetes is a must-have guide for anyone involved in the treatment of
patients with diabetes, particularly endocrinologists, diabetes
specialists and consultants, cardiologists, residents, fellows,
specialist nurses, and general practitioners with an interest in
diabetes.
