内容説明
Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder in which inadequate levels of insulin can result in abnormal carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, leading to heart disease, stroke, hypertension, blindness, kidney disease, and other serious medical problems. The illness affects nearly twenty million Americans, with 800,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Experts estimate that there are more than 100 million people worldwide who have diabetes. Offering comprehensive coverage not available in any other volume, The Encyclopedia of Diabetes examines the key aspects of this health concern, including medical and physiological terms, treatment, drugs, related social issues, up-to-date research and statistics, and much more. Unique to this volume is its extensive coverage of all forms of diabetes, including Type 1 (juvenile onset) diabetes, Type 2 (formerly "non-insulin dependent") diatetes, as well as forms of the disease resulting from surgery, medication, malnutrition, pregnancy, and other causes. Extensive appendixes list major organizations and programs related to diabetes, periodicals and websites, research and training centers, medications, and other related issues.
Also featured is an extensive bibliography to promote further research.
