Written for a broad range of readers, including students,
researchers, policymakers, health care providers, and diabetes
patients and caregivers, this book explains the underlying
biochemistry and physiology of diabetes mellitus. Each chapter
contains a glossary that defines key terms, a summary that
highlights essential concepts discussed in each section of the
chapter, as well as a set of simple problems to help readers gain
a richer and deeper understanding of diabetes, from its history
to treatment options.

Understanding Diabetes begins with an overview of the
disease, its worldwide prevalence and cost, and its connection to
the global obesity epidemic. The author then explores the history
of diabetes, including the first documented description of the
disease dating back to 3400 BCE in Ancient Egypt. The next
chapter, A Glucose Metabolism Primer, sets forth the pathways for
the metabolism of glucose. Next, the book covers:

Although a cure has still not been found, this book demonstrates
that researchers are continuing to make major breakthroughs on
all fronts in the fight against diabetes, including a better
understanding of its causes and an improved ability to diagnose
and treat the disease.
