Now in its second edition, __The Evidence Base for Diabetes Care__ has been fully revised and updated to incorporate new evidence from clinical trials. The aim of the book remains the same – to provide treatment recommendations based on the latest research and ensure patients with diabetes receive the best possible care. Designed to be user-friendly, the evidence is displayed in clear tables with accompanying critiques including grading of evidence where appropriate. As well as summarizing the current evidence available for diabetes prevention and care, the contributors highlight areas where evidence is lacking and where studies are underway. This book is an invaluable source of evidence-based information distilled into guidance for clinical practice.Content: Chapter 1 The Evidence Base for Diabetes Care (pages 1–5): William H.

This volume outlines what is meant by terms such as'evidence based practice','systematic review','efficacy','effectiveness'. It summarises, in a systematic fashion, the current evidence on diabetes prevention and care to enable the reader to improve their professional practice. Furthermore, it promotes a critical attitude to the assessment of evidence and engenders enthusiasm for'lifelong learning'. It also advises clinicians on what to do when there is little available evidence. Chapters consider the evidence base for the definition and classification of diabetes, as well as prevention, identification, treatment, education in IDDM and NIDDM. The final chapters look at the practical implications of translating this evidence into practice in different environments with different health care systems and different economic levels.
