About the Book . . .
Evaluating strategies for the management of types 1 and 2 diabetes, this reference explores the pharmacokinetics of insulin programs as well as the latest glucose self-monitoring equipment and assessment strategies to achieve optimal glycemic control and reduce the occurence of complications including retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular disease.
Insulin Therapy addresses the following topics: the need for analogs that mimic normal patterns of physiological insulin delivery, the design of individualized nutritional goals and meal plans to improve metabolic control, new approaches for insulin replacement in children and adolescents, blood glucose management for hospitalized patients and means to avoid hypoglycemia, the etiology and pathogenesis of types 1 and 2 diabetes, novel methods to achieve and maintain normoglycemia throughout pregnancy, treatment of hyperglycemia emergencies such as ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome, and insulin pump therapy in children and adults.
