Quick Guide to Diabetes Mellitus, Second Edition provides essential knowledge on the pathophysiology, etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, laboratory evaluation, and basic clinical management of diabetes and its complications targeted to laboratory scientists and technicians. Eleven percent of the U.S. population have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and laboratory scientists play an essential role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of this disease. This reference presents an easy-to-read question-and-answer format that will provide fundamental knowledge and aid in commonly encountered clinical challenges.
This updated release includes new information on genetic and environmental risk factors for type 1 and 2 diabetes, pediatric glucose targets per American Diabetes Association Standards, type 2 diabetes management sections, including treatment guidelines and information on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and gastric bypass surgery.
Key Features
- Provides a new section on the staging of pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes
