At a time of dramatic increases in the prevalence of obesity, it is
appropriate that Type 2 diabetes has received a great deal of
attention by the endocrinology community. Clearly, the management
of insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk is a critical issue.
However, it is important to also acknowledge and address Type 1
diabetes, whose prevalence is also increasing, and whose management
remains complex. Currently it is estimated that 10-15% of those
with diabetes carry the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, and
frequently the diagnosis is not straightforward, as many clinicians
recognize that more adults previously thought to have Type 2
diabetes actually have late-onset Type 1 diabetes (also termed
latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult or LADA). Over the last
decade tools for the management of Type 1 diabetes have also
evolved; therefore, clinicians now have the opportunity to more
closely replicate normal physiologic insulin secretion with either
basal-bolus insulin therapy or continuous subcutaneous insulin
infusions. While these advancements allow clinicians to manage
patients with Type 1 diabetes better, they also add complexity to
patient treatment. An updated text to address the concepts behind
the recognition of new onset Type 1 diabetes in adults, the ongoing
care of adults with established Type 1 diabetes, and future
potential therapies and devices is warranted to review these issues
for both endocrinologists and primary care providers with an
interest in diabetes.
As part of the Oxford American Endocrinology Library, this volume
stands as a concise guide in the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes in
adults. The authors briefly examine the classification and
pathophysiology of Type 1 diabetes (including predication and
prevention and LADA) and address management (blood glucose
monitoring, insulin therapy, and Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin
Infusion) and complications (Hyperglycemia, Retinocpathy,
Nephropathy, Neuropathy, etc) of the disease. Finally and perhaps
most significantly, the authors consider "special situations"
associated with Type 1 Diabetes patients, including inpatient
treatment, pancreas and inslet transplantation, and how to treat
pregnant and depressed patients and patients with eating disorders.
