Editor Shah presents this volume on diabetes care in clinical practice. The first chapter outlines the problems with crisis-based care and suggests methods of implementing registries in order to keep track of diabetic patients, followed by contributions on epidemiology and primary care applied to diabetes management. More technical chapters discuss the HbA1c marker, glucose self-monitoring, nutrition and exercise management, oral medication, and insulin therapy, as well as special considerations for pregnant patients and young Type 2 patients. The last chunk of the book addresses management of secondary or concurrent conditions including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, neuropathy, foot care, eye disorders, nephropathy, heart failure, sexual dysfunction, and management during special situations such as religious fasting or circadian rhythm disruption.
