Abstract
:
"Diabetes is the catalyst for a whole host of chronic complications that can appear as a result of the disease, such as: diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, foot ulcers, kidney failure, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Diabetes management is changing rapidly, and powerful new agents, including some that may modify the natural history of diabetes and its complications, continue to be introduced, as both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes increase in prevalence and impact worldwide. This brief guide summarizes the specific information needed for clinical treatment of diabetic patients"--Provided by publisher.
