Diabetes is a chronic endocrine disease characterized by glucose metabolism disorders in the human body. This book mainly introduces the causes, diagnosis, classification, treatment, and related knowledge of diabetes, as well as family care. In the 21st century, China will fully enter a well-off society. While creating and enjoying a prosperous life, health will undoubtedly become one of the most concerned hot topics. People eat five grains and have seven emotions and six desires, and it is inevitable to suffer from various diseases. There is no one who has never been sick in their lifetime, but the key is to have fewer illnesses and recover quickly after getting sick. This raises two important issues: "fewer illnesses" require strengthening disease prevention, while "quick recovery" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine. The "Common Diseases Prevention and Treatment and Family Rehabilitation" series published by Science and Technology Press is centered around this theme, with a focus on family rehabilitation. As the saying goes, "Three parts of treatment and seven parts of care," here the "care" is equivalent to "family rehabilitation" in meaning. Generally speaking, during the acute phase of the disease, treatment is the primary focus, and the patient's treatment, diet, and rest must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. However, family rehabilitation is different. At this stage, the condition has stabilized, and all indicators have returned to normal or are close to normal. To restore health, in addition to cooperating with the doctor's treatment, reasonable dietary, psychological, and exercise adjustments and care are also necessary. Patients and their families must establish a new concept of family rehabilitation and regard it as an essential stage of disease prevention and treatment, valuing the role of family rehabilitation in disease recovery. Among these, diet is not only the material basis for maintaining life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery through reasonable nutrition. Adjusting one's mentality is beneficial for improving the immune system and also helps build a belief in overcoming the disease. Exercise is not only an active rehabilitation method but also helps the sick body recover quickly and strengthens the body. As for music therapy, regular routines, and other measures, they are both necessary and simple to implement. The "Common Diseases Prevention and Treatment and Family Rehabilitation" series invites medical experts from the clinical front to serve as the chief editors of each volume. Using plain language, it explains in an easy-to-understand manner the causes, related knowledge, prevention, and treatment of each common disease, especially the various methods of family rehabilitation, such as psychological adjustment, exercise rehabilitation, music therapy, and family medication guidelines. It is suitable for patients and their families to read. The series is richly illustrated and features a novel layout. We believe that the publication of this series will help all readers maintain their health!
