Diabetes Update: Easi Read

0/5 ( ratings)

INTRODUCTION

Diabetes mellitus has become a major health problem world-wide. The global prevalence is currently estimated at 350 million people and is set to increase, especially in 3rd world countries. Its prevalence has more than doubled in the last 30 years. However, the impact of other diseases such as HIV/AIDS will modify the magnitude of the predicted epidemic.

In this short book, I have attempted to highlight some of the main issues in the field of diabetes that concern patients, health-care professionals and medical students – a rather wide cavern to bridge! It is certainly not a complete monograph on the subject: to do this would require a text that runs to several hundred pages.
. Rather, I have concentrated on practical aspects, with preventive measures being emphasized wherever possible. This is particularly relevant in view of the findings of recent major studies such as the DCCT and UKDPS.

There is little that is original in this review, but hopefully a clear exposition of existing knowledge has been presented.
Acknowledgement is readily given to the following sources: Practical Diabetes Management – Wits Diabetes Group; Clinician’s
Manual on Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus – P Zimmet and M Cohen; Diabetes Mellitus: a fundamental and clinical text – edited by D Leroith, S Taylor and J Olefsky. Other sources have been acknowledged in the text itself. Gratitude to Mrs. C Tennick for her editorial skills. I am particularly indebted to Loreine Saunders for compiling the detailed Food Tables listed in Appendix 3. They provide a comprehensive and practical guide to sensible eating and I endorse them fully! More information will be found in her own book “Know Your Diet: The Prudent Diet.”
This book is dedicated to my wife, Rebecca and our extended family.
