The number of people with Type 2 diabetes is expected to double in
the next 20 years, causing increased stress on health care providers and
facilities. Therefore, research on managing the disease efficiently has
become increasingly dynamic, with increased work on evaluation,
treatment and comorbid conditions. The expert contributors here offer 30
articles on such topics as Type 2 diabetes epidemiology, pathogenesis,
metabolic mechanisms of insulin resistance, fat metabolism, detection
and diagnosis, therapies for delay or prevention, postprandial
hyperglycemia, nutrition therapy, exercise as treatment, non-insulin
pharmaceutical therapies, transitions from oral agents to combination
insulin/oral therapy, intensive insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, adherence
to practice guidelines, hypertension, lipoproteins, coronary artery
disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke, obesity, the liver,
pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, erectile dysfunction, sexual
dysfunction in women, depression, atypical forms, stress,
pharmacological factors affecting glycemic control and the transition
from patient compliance to cooperation.
