Complications of Diabetes Mellitus cover

This book explores the serious complications of diabetes mellitus, including cardiovascular issues and mental health impacts, making it essential for healthcare professionals and students.

Diabetes mellitus represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by severe complications that impose considerable costs on individuals and healthcare systems. The book Complications of Diabetes Mellitus delves into the myriad complications associated with this condition, including hypertension, heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, blindness, nephropathy, neuropathy, amputations, and even death. It highlights the prevalence of these complications and emphasizes the importance of prevention strategies to mitigate disease development.

Within its pages, Complications of Diabetes Mellitus provides an in-depth look at how diabetes affects various demographic groups, particularly focusing on the alarming rise of type II diabetes linked to obesity in younger populations. The book addresses the global mortality rates and the economic burden associated with diabetes complications, making it an essential resource for healthcare professionals, students, and anyone interested in understanding the broader implications of this chronic disease.

Additionally, the book features key insights into the relationship between diabetes and other health issues, including the links to cancer, heart failure, and mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. By offering a comprehensive overview of the latest diagnostic tests and treatments, Complications of Diabetes Mellitus serves as a valuable reference for those seeking to enhance their knowledge and improve patient outcomes in the face of this pervasive epidemic.

This book will be important to clinicians who take care of diabetes patients. I appreciate that it covers latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and complications of uncontrolled diabetes in pregnant women.
