Diabetes Update

  • Dr Larry Distiller

Abstract

Over the past decade the management of diabetes has undergone a revolution. This has been aided by an adequate definition of diabetes itself, coupled with a more meaningful classification of the diabetic state. Diabetes is now defined as a fasting blood glucose above 7mmo1/1 or a two hour post-prandial level above 11mmo1/1.
