Advances In Diabetes Research And Management

This book discusses the latest research in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and screening of diabetes and its management. It reviews novel technologies for early diagnosis and highlights the molecular mechanisms of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes 2 mellitus. The book covers the applications of nanotechnology in diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment of diabetes mellitus. The chapter also presents the latest developments in differentiating pancreatic cells from PSCs and illustrates the challenges of their therapeutic application in treating diabetes. The book also explores the prospective medicinal plants comprising either plant extract or isolated bioactive phytoconstituents bearing anti-diabetic potential, which has been reported in several in vitro, in vivo, or clinical studies. It further examines the major mechanisms involved in cardiovascular complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus individuals and discusses the various pharmacological interventions and agents developed to delay cardiovascular events and thereby the quality and duration of the patients. Towards the end, the book summarizes the potential impact of ketogenic diets on diabetic patients, and the role of genetic vulnerability in diabetic nephropathy. As such, this book is a valuable source for students, researchers, and practitioners working in glucose metabolism, diabetes, and human health.

The current epidemic of diabetes, obesity and related disorders is a driving force in the development of new technologies. Technological advances offer great new opportunities for the treatment of these chronic diseases. This review presents an update of developments that promise to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes. It examines hospital and outpatient care, intensive insulin therapy, blood glucose monitoring and innovative steps towards the construction of an artificial pancreas. Providing a comprehensive overview on the latest advances, this volume of Frontiers in Diabetes will be of particular interest to all healthcare providers involved in the daily management of patients with diabetes or related diseases.

This book is intended to provide up-to-date and emerging information in the field of diabetes mellitus with a focus on preventive, predictive and personalized medicine.

Diabetes has garnered worldwide attention and research funding as clinicians and researchers seek to better understand its pathogenesis, prevention, complications management, and impact and relationship to other diseases (heart disease, kidney disease, infections, and inflammation). Clinicians are overwhelmed with rapidly evolving developments regarding the science and clinical management of diabetes and are struggling to understand and apply new diabetes information. Diabetes: Translating Research into Practice will provide a concise interpretation of translational diabetes research for the purpose of preparing clinicians to understand and effectively deploy new strategies and therapeutics into the clinical care of diabetes patients by examining: the contrast between existing information in the clinical practice versus the basis and need for future clinical trials breakthroughs within clinical trials and methods to incorporate bench to bedside material for the clinical practice the synthesis and interpretation of the scientific principles, trial results, and clinical implications of emerging and translational therapies, and the management strategies for diabetic patients the entire scope of translational diabetes research from biology to screening and prognosis, new therapeutics, insulin, transplantation, and complications management new therapeutic strategies to knowledgeably and effectively equip the practicing clinician assembles information that is scattered throughout the diabetic community into one concise single reference
