Behavioral medicine has blossomed as an area of systematic
investiga tion during the past 10-20 years. Throughout its steady
growth, there have been increasing interest and specialization in
the study of neuro psychological and behavioral aspects of
diabetes. This book attempts to capture and report exciting new
developments in the study of both insulin-dependent (Type I) and
non-insulin-dependent (Type II) dia betes mellitus. Accordingly, it
is divided into two major sections. Physiological aspects of each
disease, which differ significantly in pathophysiology and course,
are discussed in separate medical over views that introduce each
major section. These overviews are written by Drs. Tsalikian and
Zimmerman, leading medical researchers in insulin and
non-insulin-dependent diabetes, respectively. Each section also
contains chapters describing neuropsychological and cognitive
disease correlates, psychosocial patterns of adjustment, and
treatment adher ence issues. Psychological aspects of
insulin-dependent diabetes have been studied more extensively than
non-insulin-dependent diabetes, perhaps because it is more often
associated with graver medical compli cations. Therefore, there is
a larger body of research to review and the first section has been
divided into chapters on cognitive disease se quelae in populations
of children and adults, separately. In his chapter, Dr. Ryan
discusses developmental factors related to the unique sensi tivity
of the brain to metabolic derangement. Dr. Holmes reviews studies
of adults with diabetes and the cognitive correlates of both acute
and chronic blood glucose disruption. Developmental disease is sues
are further covered in Dr."
