Features: Diabetes has now become a serious social issue threatening the health of people worldwide, but given the current medical levels both domestically and internationally, it cannot yet be completely cured and is a lifelong disease. Due to the influence of social culture and external environments, diabetic patients often hold many incorrect views and perspectives during the process of treatment and education. Misunderstandings lead to wrong actions, and wrong actions result in severe consequences. This book systematically summarizes the current misconceptions about diabetes, with a unique perspective, novel content, and a strong connection to practical theory, greatly helping to improve the understanding of diabetes among a broad range of patients and grassroots medical personnel. After briefly introducing the knowledge for diabetic patients, the book provides detailed explanations of some representative misconceptions about diabetes, with the content complementing each other to deepen and strengthen readers' comprehension and mastery of diabetes knowledge. The publication of this book will, to some extent, enhance the ability of patients to cooperate with doctors in preventing and treating diabetes, making it more effective to control diabetes and reduce complications.
