Evidence-based Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes brings together an
international group of paediatric diabetes specialists to address the
cause, course and complications of all types of diabetes. From a careful
review of the latest research, they propose the best possible
evidence-based recommendations for the care of children and the youth
with diabetes.
The text provides the reader with an understanding across three
different levels:
- Reviews how strong the evidence is for recommending one approach over
another
- Highlights areas where evidence is not based on the types of studies
needed to provide 'highgrade recommendations', but where there is a
general consensus as to the most sensible approach
- Identifies the issues that remain inadequately addressed such that no
definitive recommendations can be made
As the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus continues to increase
worldwide, and type 2 is being seen in more young people, this timely
volume will help a wide range of health care professionals deliver the
best possible care to their young patients.
