It can be argued that diabetes mellitus is the disease that best demonstrates the inter-relationship between biochemistry and metabolic medicine. The consequences of an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin profoundly affect intermediary metabolism, leading to acute metabolic crises and long-term medical complications. The aim of this book is to explore the role of the laboratory in the diagnosis and management of diabetes and its complications, as well as to explain the fundamental changes to the biochemical pathways and how they are manifested clinically. Actual clinical cases are incorporated to illustrate this. There are chapters on the aetiology, diagnosis and management of diabetes as well as hyperglycaemic comas, hypoglycaemia and diabetes in pregnancy. The book is timely with the recent release of the United Kingdom National Service Frameworks for diabetes.

"[the authors] did a masterful job of creating and editing this gold standard book that should be used by all clinicians and incorporated into all nursing and health sciences curriculums." -Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk, PhD, APRN-CNP, FNAP, FAANP, FAAN Vice President for Health Promotion University Chief Wellness Officer Dean and Helene Fuld Health Trust Professor of Evidence-Based Practice, College of Nursing Professor of Pediatrics & Psychiatry, College of Medicine Executive Director, the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for EBP The Ohio State University This is the only book to explicitly guide clinicians through an evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting laboratory tests. With over 160 commonly ordered tests, this book is designed to foster more accurate clinical decision-making to attain the highest level of patient care. This book summarizes more than 3000 pieces of evidence and incorporates clinical expertise and decision-making on the ordering and interpretation of tests. To promote ease of use, a convenient table maps labs and their corresponding chapter numbers to the relevant body system to promote ease of use. Each laboratory test is presented in a consistent format with information on physiology, indications (screening, diagnosis, and monitoring), algorithms, test interpretation and follow-up testing, patient education, and related diagnoses. Additional valuable features include clinical pearls that highlight common pitfalls and gaps in reasoning, and a cost-benefit analysis. This book also includes CPT and ICD-10 codes, charts and tables for clarification, and references for further study. Key Features: Delivers a strong, evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting over 160 laboratory tests Promotes accurate clinical decision-making toward achieving the Triple Aim Includes abundant clinical pearls highlighting common pitfalls and gaps in reasoning Provides cost-benefit analysis and discussion of laboratory testing within a high-value healthcare culture Includes 175 supplemental case examples and 200 self-assessment questions to facilitate instruction and learning Includes more than 3000 pieces of evidence from interprofessional resources

Endocrinology, and diabetes care in particular, is a dynamic field where clinicians must translate new evidence into clinical practice at a rapid pace. Designed in an engaging, case-based format, Endocrinology and Diabetes: A Problem Oriented Approach offers a wide range of thought-provoking case studies that reflect contemporary, challenging, hands-on clinical care. Further, by providing a list of specific clinical problems, this format offers the reader a more convenient and pointed way to solve precise clinical problems in a timely manner. Developed by a renowned, international group of experts, this comprehensive title covers the most common clinical problems in endocrinology and diabetes and should be of great interest to endocrinologists, diabetologists, internal medicine physicians, family physicians, fellows, and residents.

Medical laboratories deliver an invaluable healthcare service by providing laboratory results to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease states. Point-of-care testing (POCT), a sub-sector of medical laboratory services, is completed at the patient's bedside with the goal of providing clinical laboratory results in a very short time frame to assist caregivers in clinical decision making (Ehrmeyer & Laessig, 2007). The technology within this sector of laboratory sciences continues to grow rapidly, making Point-of-Care (POC) tests more accessible for use in a variety of settings, essentially decentralizing laboratory testing. This represents an important shift in healthcare culture as it provides healthcare practitioners and patients alike, the opportunity to perform an ever-growing number of laboratory tests, anywhere and at any time. Through the use of semi-structured interview questions, this qualitative research project utilized a case study informed methodology to understand the role of patient autonomy in self-testing (ST) and the function of accountability as it relates to POCT, when testing occurs in an unregulated environment. Findings suggest that ST and self-care behaviours in diabetes that are autonomously initiated result in positive outcomes, as patients are more likely to be active participants in their own healthcare. The principle of patient autonomy was highlighted in the research by the need to build strong patient/physician relationships in order to facilitate dialogue that promotes informed decision-making, an important aspect of patient care. Patients also felt that participating in ST provided them with a greater sense of control over their health, and that an increased frequency of ST could be seen only in a positive manner, regardless of which self-test was being performed. Conversely, the cost and the possibility of encountering difficulties in the interpretation and troubleshooting of self-test results were seen as negative aspects of ST. Through this research endeavour, the necessity for greater measures of accountability were also made evident, as patients and physicians discussed how self-testing could impact patient care. Short-term and long-term goals are provided as recommendations to strengthen accountability in POCT within unregulated environments.
