Features: To help diabetic patients gain a correct understanding of their condition and enhance their confidence in overcoming the disease, this book addresses five aspects: dietary therapy, exercise therapy, drug treatment, self-monitoring, and the prevention of complications. It provides reliable, specific, and accessible guidance, supported by real cases, and explains in an easy-to-understand manner how and why certain actions should be taken. If patients can quickly grasp and skillfully apply these methods to themselves, they can achieve results that even the most skilled doctors cannot replace. The times are evolving, society is progressing, and knowledge needs updating—even for diabetic patients. Only by understanding diabetes can they better cooperate with their doctors and overcome the disease. While introducing basic diabetes knowledge, this book also employs a comparison between past and present to authentically showcase the significant changes in diabetes prevention and treatment over the past decade. For instance, the understanding of diabetes pathogenesis has deepened from what was known a decade ago, providing a theoretical foundation for better controlling the disease. On the other hand, substantial changes and updates have been made in the classification and diagnosis of diabetes, dietary therapy, exercise therapy, drug treatment, self-monitoring, and the prevention of complications. In this century, effective methods for curing and preventing diabetes will emerge.
