Product Description
Diabetes mellitus affects nearly 6% of the U.S. population, making it one of the most common medical problems seen by physicians. Each year, diabetes costs the nation nearly $100 billion in treatment and disability. Preventing complications, such as kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, blindness, and nerve damage, is an important component of regular care. Equally critical to successful treatment is effective patient selfmanagement and education. Often, this means a coordinated and collaborative healthcare effort. Dr. Bernstein reviews the rising prevalence and pathophysiology of diabetes, including the disturbing rise in Type 2 diabetes among children. In addition, he discusses how associated syndromes, such as insulin resistance, are joining diabetes as major lifestyle diseases of the 21st century |
