This updated and revised fifth edition reflects the continuing progress in our understanding of diabetes and its care. Evidence of the importance of prevention measures, improvements in medication, early detection, and treatment of complications have evolved in the past few years, and this new edition addresses these changes. The book continues to provide nurses and other health professionals with the basics, including physiology, diagnosis, insulin and diet management, acute care, exercise, and life style issues. It includes complete guidelines on developing an education program, with a suggested course outline.
