Medications and Diabetes Risk

As part of the Oxford American Pocket Notes series, this ultra concise guide clarifies many misperceptions about drug interactions, hyperglycemia and diabetes disease causation. The knowledge will enable clinicians to design and select therapeutic regimens that embody the best risk-benefit profile with regard to glycemia and control of comorbid conditions. The author organizes each drug by type and class, presenting the scientific evidence of the diabetes risk for each drug and therefore, in some cases, debunk myths. Finally, the author recommends steps that should be taken to minimize diabetes risk, including behavioral and lifestyle modifications.
