RSSDI Diabetes Update 2020

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.

The latest edition of this reference provides endocrinologists with the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of diabetes.

Beginning with an overview of epidemiology, pathophysiology and metabolism, the next sections discuss presentations of diabetes, therapeutic management, complications, and comorbidities.
