- Summary:
- The prevalence of diabetes and obesity has increased over the past decade and is expected to continue to rise until at least 2030. There is a clear association between diabetes and obesity due to insulin resistance, chronic inflammatory state, and endothelial dysfunction. Since diabetes and obesity are commonly encountered chronic conditions, pharmacists and associated trainees are in a unique position to collect and assess information about these issues within the communities they serve. With the help of the expert advice in The Pharmacist’s Pocket Guide for Diabetes and Obesity, pharmacists, trainees, and other health care professionals can develop and implement a person-centered plan with appropriate monitoring and follow-up to omtimize outcomes for patients with diabetes and obesity. The Pharmacist’s Pocket Guide for Diabetes and Obesity has separate sections on diabetes and obesity which include the clinical assessment, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, management of complications, and information on special populations for each condition. The text wraps up with a section on the pharmacist's role in clinical scenarios and another on the future of research and practice in pharmacy. This book fills a gap in the existing literature by providing a conveniently sized, quick-reference guide full of practical strategies, tips, and considerations for patients with diabetes and obesity for a broad audience of pharmacists, trainees in pharmacy, and other health care professionals.
