Applying the Evidence: Clinical Trials in Diabetes Book

The last 20 years, and in particular the last 10 years, have seen an explosion in research into management issues in diabetes. Large-scale, robust scientific studies have been reported, innovative new drugs have been developed and the evidence base for treating diabetes and preventing its complications is now outstanding. Clinicians are in the position to save vision, preserve renal function and (perhaps) prevent neuropathy?all based on the results of recent landmark clinical trials. It is also well recognized that type 2 diabetes, in particular, is a major contributor to cardiovascular risk. This book is one author?s attempt to distil a wealth of clinical information into a concise and practical handbook. The clinical trials relevant to diabetes that have had the greatest impact on management are included, with all the principal facts and figures summarized in an easy to use format, supplemented with key figures reproduced from the original papers.Read More
