Description
At a time of dramatic increases in the prevalence of obesity, it is appropriate that Type 2 diabetes has received a great deal of attention by the endocrinology community. Clearly, the management of insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk is a critical issue. However, it is important to also acknowledge and address Type 1 diabetes, whose prevalence is also increasing, and whose management remains complex. Currently it is estimated that 10-15% of those with diabetes carry the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, and frequently the diagnosis is not straightforward, as many clinicians recognize that more adults previously thought to have Type 2 diabetes actually have late-onset Type 1 diabetes (also termed latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult or LADA). Over the last decade tools for the management of Type 1 diabetes have also evolved; therefore, clinicians now have the opportunity to more closely replicate normal physiologic insulin secretion with either basal-bolus insulin therapy or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions. While these advancements allow clinicians to manage patients with Type 1 diabetes better, they also add complexity to patient treatment. An updated text to address the concepts behind the recognition of new onset Type 1 diabetes in adults, the ongoing care of adults with established Type 1 diabetes, and future potential therapies and devices is warranted to review these issues for both endocrinologists and primary care providers with an interest in diabetes.
Reviews
I was skeptical at first, having read the contents on line. Firstly, I already used IOUS to guide liver cases and thought I knew things. Secondly, I am used to the high price of Springer monographs driven by esoteric topics and a bit too cutting edge content…but this book deserves a careful read. Even the most obvious lessons are discussed in a way that helps organize your experiences and makes connections to practical pearls and outstanding insights that cannot be independently discovered by those who only do a limited amount in this field. The atlas chapter is quite remarkable and the quality and sheer number of images is startling, more than a usual text and far more than I’ve come to expect from Springer monographs. The content will instantly up your game in the use of IOUS for live issues. If you have an interest in the liver from a radiology, surgery, hepatology, oncology, or even transplant perspective, get this book for your department library…it is well worth it.
