A clear explanation of the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of
diabetes Written for a broad range of readers, including students,
researchers, policymakers, health care providers, and diabetes
patients and caregivers, this book explains the underlying
biochemistry and physiology of diabetes mellitus. Each chapter
contains a glossary that defines key terms, a summary that
highlights essential concepts discussed in each section of the
chapter, as well as a set of simple problems to help readers gain a
richer and deeper understanding of diabetes, from its history to
treatment options. Understanding Diabetes begins with an overview
of the disease, its worldwide prevalence and cost, and its
connection to the global obesity epidemic. The author then explores
the history of diabetes, including the first documented description
of the disease dating back to 3400 BCE in Ancient Egypt. The next
chapter, A Glucose Metabolism Primer, sets forth the pathways for
the metabolism of glucose. Next, the book covers: * Regulation of
glucose metabolism and glucose metabolism gone wrong * Diabetes
classification system * Diagnosis, including current laboratory
tests * Complications, such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and
cardiovascular disease * Hereditary transmission * Prevention and
treatment, including emerging research Although a cure has still
not been found, this book demonstrates that researchers are
continuing to make major breakthroughs on all fronts in the fight
against diabetes, including a better understanding of its causes
and an improved ability to diagnose and treat the disease.
