Summary:

New insulins and administration protocols, advanced carbohydrate counting, and emphasis on continuing patient education are all advances in diabetes treatment that have dramatically shifted potential outcomes in favor of the patient with diabetes. The challenge for health care professionals is to realize this potential through an individualized, flexible, and responsive treatment plan for patients with type 1 diabetes.

Built on the foundation of multiple daily insulin injections and insulin pump therapy, this book guides you in helping your patients continually strive for optimal blood glucose control. This new edition of Medical Management of Type 1 Diabetes focuses on the latest molecular advances, new treatment methods, recent clinical trials, and the American Diabetes Association's Standards of Care.
