商品描述

Diabetes Ancient and Modern: The Evolution of Diabetes as a Metabolic Disease is written for patients, families, carers, and health professionals to provide a historical understanding of advances in the treatment of this serious disease. Dr Val Wilson is a diabetes expert, who also has almost 50 years' experience of managing her own type 1 diabetes.
This book charts every medical milestone in the understanding of diabetes, exploring and examining available literature from the first recognition of diabetes symptoms in ancient civilizations. As scientific methods established and progressed, we investigate the growth of diabetes-based knowledge, leading to modern treatment options and medical advances in the search for a cure. The discovery of insulin in 1921 was a major breakthrough, but living longer with unmanaged glucose levels meant the onset of secondary complications, such as heart and kidney disease. The race was on to further the scientific and medical understanding of diabetes as a serious health condition.
Cutting-edge technology to treat and manage type 1 diabetes is examined objectively and subjectively - from the author's own experience of using these therapies and devices, as is the ever-increasing obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemic worldwide. Many cases of type 2 can be reversed with weight loss so the individual is diabetes-free. We examine the recent introduction of weight loss injections, such as Ozempic - a game changer for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Currently, 6% of the NHS budget is spent on diabetes care annually, making it important that patients understand the treatment options available, and that health professionals can explore these options.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《古今糖尿病：作為代謝疾病的演變》是為患者、家庭、照護者和健康專業人員撰寫的，旨在提供對這種嚴重疾病治療進展的歷史理解。Val Wilson 博士是一位糖尿病專家，擁有近 50 年管理自身 1 型糖尿病的經驗。

本書記錄了糖尿病理解過程中的每一個醫療里程碑，探索並檢視從古代文明首次認識糖尿病症狀以來的相關文獻。隨著科學方法的建立和進步，我們調查了基於糖尿病的知識增長，這導致了現代治療選擇和尋求治療的醫療進展。1921 年胰島素的發現是一個重大突破，但未能控制的葡萄糖水平使得次級併發症的出現，例如心臟病和腎病。科學和醫療界急於進一步了解糖尿病作為一種嚴重健康狀況。

本書客觀和主觀地檢視了治療和管理 1 型糖尿病的尖端技術，包括作者自身使用這些療法和設備的經驗，以及全球日益嚴重的肥胖和 2 型糖尿病流行。許多 2 型糖尿病的案例可以通過減重逆轉，使個體不再患有糖尿病。我們探討了最近推出的減重注射劑，如 Ozempic，這對於 2 型糖尿病和體重管理來說是一個改變遊戲規則的產品。目前，英國國民健康服務（NHS）每年在糖尿病護理上花費 6% 的預算，因此患者了解可用的治療選擇，以及健康專業人員能夠探索這些選擇是非常重要的。
