      Novateur et pratique, cet ouvrage de référence offre au diabétologue, à l’interne et au médecin généraliste, 55 démarches cliniques se basant sur les connaissances scientifiques actuelles et les recommandations des différentes organisations (HAS, ADA/EASD). Chaque cas clinique y est développé selon le même plan : 1• Point de départ : description du cas clinique précédé par un rappel de « l’état de l’art » (épidémiologique, physiopathologique, clinique et thérapeutique). 2• Itinéraire de la démarche à partir du point de départ : commentaire du cas clinique par l’expert, suivi d’une argumentation pour ou contre les différentes solutions proposées. 3• Point d’arrivée : énoncé de la solution sur laquelle l’expert a porté son choix préférentiel. 4• Conclusion et évolution possible au cours des années à venir. Les 55 démarches cliniques correspondent à la majorité des situations auxquelles est confronté le médecin en pratique médicale courante : par exemple, sujets chez lesquels on découvre un diabète ou qui nécessitent des ajustements thérapeutiques du fait de l’évolution de leur maladie, de la présence de complications en rapport avec le diabète ou de situations rencontrées dans leur vie quotidienne et pouvant interférer sur leur équilibre glycémique. Cet ouvrage fait appel aux avancées les plus récentes en matière de diabétologie. Il s’adresse à l’ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques, et nous espérons qu’ils trouveront sa lecture agréable et profitable.
