Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting millions internationally. Diabetic patients are thus regularly encountered by healthcare workers and the pharmacist is ideally placed to become actively involved in the management of the medicines used by such patients. Diabetes in Focus presents a clear, concise discussion of diabetes as a disease and reviews how the community pharmacist, as a member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team, can become involved in counselling the diabetic patient on their illness, lifestyle, and medicines. Chapters include discussions on the diabetic syndrome, pharmacotherapeutic interventions, medicines management, monitoring, and screening and prevention.
