Synopsis

Protocols to improve diabetes care in your hospital ward, clinic, or office

This book is an effective guide to improve the metrics (glycemic, lipid, blood pressure) of diabetes care. Using an algorithmic approach, you can improve patient outcomes. Dr. Davidson provides documentation and evidenced-based reasons to meet the glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure goals of the American Diabetes Association and background information for the drugs used to meet those outcome goals. In addition, based on the patient's response, the book describes what therapeutic changes need to be made to provide the most efficient and effective care for patients.

• This book provides specific protocols that have been shown to be clinically effective in markedly improving outcomes in people with diabetes.
• Author Mayer Davidson, M.D., is a well-known and respected researcher and an expert in clinical endocrinology. He is a Professor of Medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine and a Principal Investigator at the Clinical Center for Research Excellence at the Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science (Los Angeles).
