The number of people with diabetes is projected to reach 300 million worldwide by 2025. In particular, new cases of type 2 diabetes have increased dramatically in conjunction with ever-rising rates of obesity.
Fast Facts: Diabetes Mellitus is a small book with a lot of information. Research on the condition has flourished, from basic science through to clinical trials, and there is now much greater understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, its complications and how best to treat them.
Ideal for anyone wanting an up-to-date summary of current practice, this third edition of Fast Facts: Diabetes Mellitus has been completely revised by two new authors of international renown. Focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of both types 1 and 2 diabetes, this comprehensive handbook will prove invaluable to primary care physicians, specialist nurses, junior doctors and medical students alike.
