Features: In today's rapidly developing economy and significantly improved living standards in China, the prevalence of diabetes has also been rising rapidly. More and more individuals and families are facing the threat of diabetes. Moreover, due to the general increase in life expectancy, an increasing number of diabetic patients will develop complications such as those related to diabetes. If not effectively controlled, this trend will continue to escalate. China is set to become the country with the largest number of diabetes patients, and this is not an exaggeration. To popularize scientific knowledge about diabetes prevention and control among the public and to curb this growing trend, the authors have compiled this book. This book explains the essential knowledge about diabetes from five aspects—basic, scientific medication, rational diet, exercise, and psychology—in a clear and accessible manner. It provides as detailed answers as possible to the questions diabetes patients commonly have regarding medication, dietary management, and exercise therapy. We believe that these expert recommendations will help readers overcome various misconceptions about diabetes.
