Download PDF Hypoglycemia In Diabetes Pathophysiology, prevalence, and Prevention by Philip E. Cryer

Sinopsis

Diabetes mellitus is an increasingly common disease. It is estimated that the prevalence of diabetes will rise from 285 million people in the year 2010 to 438 million people worldwide by the year 2030 (International Diabetes Foundation, 2009) and that the total diabetes prevalence (diagnosed and undiagnosed cases) will increase from 14% in 2010 to 25%–28% of the United States population by 2050 (Boyle et al. 2010). The common forms of the disease are type 1 diabetes mellitus, the result of absolute insulin deficiency from its clinical onset, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the result of relative insulin deficiency in the setting of insulin resistance early in its course and absolute insulin deficiency later. Approximately 95% of affected people have type 2 diabetes.
