作者简介
Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting millions internationally. Diabetic patients are thus regularly encountered by healthcare workers, and the pharmacist is ideally placed to become actively involved in the management of the medicines used by such patients. This second edition of "Diabetes in Focus" presents a discussion of diabetes as a disease and reviews how the community pharmacist, as a member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team, can become involved in counselling the diabetic patient on their illness, lifestyle and medicines. Chapters include discussions on the diabetic syndrome, pharmacotherapeutic interventions, medicines management, monitoring, screening and prevention. This completely revised and expanded edition also includes new material on drugs used in surgery, new therapeutic drug categories and use of complementary medicines.
