Description he Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: For Today and Tomorrow English | June 21, 2001 | ISBN: 080186657X | 693 Pages | PDF | 6 MB The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes provides comprehensive and reliable answers to the many questions asked by people with the disease as well as their families and friends. What are the differences between Type I and Type II diabetes, for example? How are the different forms of this disease diagnosed and treated? Can diabetes that develops during pregnancy become a permanent condition? Can diabetes ever be managed with diet and exercise alone? Written by a team of Johns Hopkins specialists, this authoritative and easy-to-read guide addresses everything about diabetes which patients need to know for good control and good health. Highlights of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: The importance of getting a straight answer about your diagnosis The physical and psychological demands of diabetes Managing the disease with blood glucose monitoring, diet, exercise, oral medications, and insulin therapy Potential short-term and long-term complications, such as hypoglycemia, hardening of the arteries, and effects on eyes, kidneys, feet, and skin Sexuality, pregnancy, and genetics Recent developments for treating diabetes and the latest thinking about the importance of close control, based on the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial n 1997, when endocrinologist Christopher Saudek and psychologist and pediatrician Richard Rubin collaborated with registered nurse Cynthia Shump to publish the first edition of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes, only three states (plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) had diabetes cases affecting 6 percent or more of their populations. By 2010, all 50 states had exceeded the 6 percent prevalence rate—an increase of 50 percent or more in 42 states and 100 percent or more in 18 states. Today, an estimated 29.1 million Americans have diabetes, up from the 25.8 million in 2010. Saudek and Rubin had a front-row seat on this grim march toward ill health. Saudek, founding director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Diabetes Center, was president of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) from 2001 to 2002, when he launched a nationwide education campaign to alert the public to diabetes and its dangers. Rubin was president of the ADA’s Health and Education section from 2006 to 2007 and spent more than 30 years counseling children and adults on how to handle diabetes’ emotional impact. The exponential growth in diabetes—now the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S.—and the latest advances both in its diagnosis and treatment clearly mandated this updated, second edition of Johns Hopkins’ exceptionally informative guide. Within the book’s 32 chapters, readers will find the latest on a wide range of subjects—from the role of genetics and improvements in blood glucose measurement to how families are affected and how they can help. Saudek and Rubin began work on the second edition in 2010, along with Thomas Donner, Saudek’s successor as head of Johns Hopkins’ Diabetes Center. Other faculty and fellows who contributed include Nestoras Mathioudakis, Sharon Solomon, Shabina Ahmed, Ilias Spanakis, Reshmi Srinath, Laila Tabatabai, Kristin Arcara and nutritionist Emily Loghmani.
