Book Description:

Non

communicable diseases in general and diabetes in particular are seriously

affecting populations in all regions of the world, including developed and developing

countries.  Globalisation,

industrialisation, urbanisation and different transitions (demographic,

economic epidemiologic and geographic) have all contributed to the dramatic

increase of diabetes prevalence, mainly through unhealthy diet, physical

inactivity and overweight/obesity.

This

book deals with diabetes at different stages, including pre-diabetes,

undiagnosed diabetes, diabetes without complications and diabetes with

complications. Although diabetes is not curable, the main purpose of this book

is to show how people and societies can avoid its onset and eventually (after

its occurrence), how to control it in order to ensure a quality of life similar

to that of people without diabetes.

The

content of this book is accessible to readers of different levels and status,

including people with diabetes, families with children affected by type 1 diabetes,

students, academic staff, health decision makers, scientific researchers and

members of civil societies.
