Diabetes Management in Hospitalized Patients (eBook)

As the diabetes epidemic continues to burden the healthcare system, and with the literature supporting enhanced patient outcomes with improved glycemic control, the need for expertise in the clinical management of inpatient diabetes is an increasingly important and timely matter. While some books have been published on inpatient diabetes, this guide serves as a comprehensive but clinically relevant review of the available literature and recommended management for the key areas surrounding hospital diabetes management.

 This book is designed to provide practical guidance on diabetes management for hospitalized patients. The number of topics covered is meant to be comprehensive and include discussion on many potential scenarios encountered on the inpatient service, but in a concise and user-friendly manner. This book is intended to be a valuable resource for fellows, residents, students, and existing providers looking to improve their knowledge and skills in evidence-based inpatient diabetes management. The enclosed chapters were written by many globally renowned physicians, researchers, and clinicians. Diabetes Management in Hospitalized Patients: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for endocrinologists, hospitalists, pharmacists, PAs and NPs, and all staff responsible for clinical care of these patients.
