Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. In the 21st Century, the management
of type 2 diabetes has become even more important both in the primary health care setting and in the UK government's health policy. With
the publication of the National Service Framework and the allied National Clinical Guidelines, both patients and the government expect
practices to deliver appropriate and effective care to a high standard. This handbook addresses many concepts important in the day-to-day
management of these patients. In addition to the discussion of specific medical management of type 2 diabetes (including the improvement
of cardiovascular risk factors), the book explores the use of self-management techniques, the consultation process, and the use of psychological
techniques to influence health-related behavior. All aspects of the text are linked, when appropriate, to the GMS contract.
