Description:
The ABC of Diabetes comprises a comprehensive view of the practical issues relating to diagnosis and treatment of diabetes together with very practical advice on the management of its complications. The entire emphasis relates to clinical practice. Diabetic patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes or proteinuria, are at considerable risk of excessive morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease leading to myocardial infarction, strokes, and amputations. Much effort must be given to reducing the risk factors that predispose to major atheromatous arterial disease. The many available measures add to the complexity of treatingdiabetic patients, especially those with type 2 diabetes. Cardiovascular disease is substantially increased in diabetes, with hyperglycaemia an independent risk factor. It is the chief cause of death, and the focus on reducing the risk factors responsible strongly influences the management of diabetes.
