دانلود کتاب درسی دیابت – اصول بالینی، مدیریت بیمار و مسائل بهداشت عمومی

For Andy and Ashley, lighthouses of my life The first edition of The Diabetes Textbook was the result of more than three decades of endeavors in outpatient diabetes management, starting with the creation of a diabetes clinic in a public hospital in Mexico City in 1990. Shortly afterwards, we met Dr. Donnell Etzwiler and his colleagues from the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis. Don was an advocate of structured diabetes care using a scientifically based, cost-effective and patient-centered approach [1]. He was also aware of the need to improve the quality of diabetes care based on principles established by Shewhart, Deming, Juran, and many other brilliant minds in the history of quality in industry. Don was a highlight in our efforts to develop and implement an outpatient diabetes model that has benefited thousands of people with diabetes, mostly from undeserved communities. Starting in 1991, we have presented an international diabetes conference in which we have assembled a large faculty of experts from all over the world, including basic science, public health, and clinical management. Many of them became longtime friends, collaborators of The Diabetes Textbook, and strong supporters of its creation. We have come to understand that communication, collaboration, and hard work are crucial to confront “the largest epidemic in human history” in the words of Professor Paul Zimmet [2]. The COVID-19 pandemic has confirmed the crucial link of globalization and social determinants of health in outcomes and prognosis; diabetes is a clear example of the persisting consequences of health disparities [3]. The second edition of The Diabetes Textbook recognizes the importance of multidisciplinary management. I am extremely grateful for the contributions and enthusiasm of almost two hundred experts from five continents. Their expertise in the most diverse professional areas reflects the complexities of diabetes care and the multiple needs for its management. New chapters have increased the scope and enriched the previous edition, and comprehensive updates have been carried out in the original version. All the coauthors are kindly and forever recognized, but special thanks are directed to Sanjay Kalra and Maggie Powers, and very especially to Victoria Serhiyenko, who in the midst of a national tragedy provided her invaluable support. Above all, this book is devoted to persons with diabetes and their families [1]. The burden on suffering continues to be huge, and every day we honor our commitment to support them to achieve a successful life with diabetes.
