Description

New insulins and administration protocols, advanced carbohydrate counting, and emphasis on continuing patient education are all advances in diabetes treatment that have dramatically shifted potential outcomes in favor of the patient with diabetes. The challenge for health care professionals is to realize this potential through an individualized, flexible, and responsive treatment plan for patients with type 1 diabetes. Built on the foundation of multiple daily insulin or insulin pump therapy, this book guides you in helping your patients continually strive for optimal blood glucose control appropriate for each one's skills and medical condition. Following this integrated approach that includes treatment to blood pressure and lipid goals, emphasis on proper nutrition and regular exercise, and smoking cessation, pediatricians to general practitioners can provide the best possible medical care for their diabetes patients.
