Diabetes Mellitus in Women: Adolescence Through Pregnancy and Menopause

by E. Albert Reece

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written by recognized experts, this volume is a comprehensive guide to the primary care of women with diabetes, both during pregnancy and at other stages of the life cycle. The book provides much-needed information on the best drug treatment options and on dietary management, patient education, genetics, perinatal counseling, diabetes prevention, and long-term care of complications. Coverage includes detailed guidelines on management of gestational diabetes and obstetric complications and on prenatal diagnosis of abnormal fetal growth and congenital malformations. Other chapters address diabetes care for adolescents, menopause in diabetic women, and diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and coronary heart disease.

Book News Annotation:

This resource for health care professionals provides detailed guidelines on the diagnosis, prevention, and management of diabetes in women throughout the lifespan. Thirty-four contributions from clinicians and researchers are arranged into sections on general medical and primary care; metabolic considerations; the fetus and placenta; pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes; pregnancy complicated by pre-existing diabetes; and peripartum and neonatal care. The third edition contains information on new immunotherapeutic strategies aimed at preventing type I diabetes in high-risk women. Editor Reece teaches at the U. of Arkansas College of Medicine.
