Diabetes is one of the largest global health emergencies. Advances are taking place in better understanding, preventing and treating diabetes and its complications every day. It is a crucial duty of the healthcare professionals dealing with diabetes patients to keep track with these advances so that they can come up with the best service possible. In this book, I have discussed both the basics and advanced understandings regarding diabetes from its anatomical and physiological background to its disease process, diagnosis, complications, treatment and prevention.

I believe the clear understanding of the disease process is a prerequisite not only for better diabetes care but also for adapting the effective prevention strategies that could help halt the inexorable rise of type 2 diabetes.

I wholeheartedly invite constructive criticism from readers, so that any error can be corrected in future edition.
