As the global epidemic of diabetes continues to expand, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is predicted to double in the next 20 years.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and medical professionals and comprising a wealth of information in a single resource, the book integrates the best evidence for the full range of clinical issues surrounding the evaluation and treatment of type 2 diabetes, including comorbid conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and vascular disease. To quantify the strength of evidence supporting current practices, each chapter highlights related conditions, including fatty liver disease, pregnancy, and polycystic ovarian syndrome, and also addresses barriers to treatment, including stress, depression, and patient motivation.

Free of medical mumbo jumbo, comprehensive, and packed with useful information not readily available in other books, Think Like a Pancreas discusses:
• day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring
• designing an insulin program to best match your lifestyle
• measuring insulin to carbohydrate intake and physical activity
• the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods
• optimal management of diabetes using an insulin pump
• hypoglycemia—the best ways to avoid it and treat it
• the impact of emotions, stress, illness, and aging
• making the best use of your health care team and community resources
• plus dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to understand and master.
