Written in an easily understandable manner, this book explains the biochemistry behind diabetes, one of the most widely increasing illnesses today. It also discusses the most up-to-date detection, treatment, and management techniques for this debilitating disease. Taking a biochemical perspective, this book is written for clinical chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, medical technologists, medical students, residents, and physicians. The coverage explores technical concepts in easily understandable terms using a glossary, footnotes, and thorough explanations of what otherwise would be complex terminology and concepts.

RICHARD F. DODS, PhD, D.ABCC, has studied, taught, and written about diabetes mellitus for many years, beginning as a research associate at New York University Medical School. As Director of Clinical Chemistry at the Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital, Dr. Dods published pioneering papers on the use of HbA1c as a test for monitoring diabetes mellitus. Later, he established his own company, Clinical Laboratory Consultants, which advised hospital and commercial laboratories on the implementation and interpretation of assays and the use of instruments for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, including diabetes.
