Features: This book is written in accordance with the following principles: 1. It balances basic and clinical, theory and practice, but primarily focuses on clinical applications to cater to most physicians engaged in clinical practice and public health prevention. 2. Unlike general textbooks and reference books, it does not emphasize systematic discussions of the etiology, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Instead, it takes insulin resistance and insulin resistance syndrome as the main thread to explore these issues, aiming to develop new ideas, concepts, and theories, leading to new prevention and treatment strategies and measures, as well as providing new insights for the development of targeted drugs. The book retains the writing styles of its various contributors without enforcing uniformity throughout. Main references are appended at the end of the text, numbered for easy reference by readers. Secondary references are included within the text. Regarding the expression of diabetes, it adopts Type 1 and Type 2. However, when citing literature before 1997, it retains the terms NIDDM and IDDM. The book provides an in-depth and systematic introduction to the concept of insulin resistance, its mechanisms, evaluation of detection methods, and the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance-related diseases, along with many important new references. It serves as a reference for clinical physicians and public health prevention workers, and is also valuable for those engaged in insulin resistance research.
