Pour tenir compte de ces évolutions, cette troisième édition a été entièrement actualisée et enrichie de nouveaux chapitres.

Les nouvelles stratégies diagnostiques et thérapeutiques ont été particulièrement développées en tenant compte des avancées scientifiques les plus récentes. Cinq nouveaux chapitres ont été créés : les effets des traitements anti-hyperglycémiant... sur les complications cardiovasculaires et rénales du patient diabétique de type 2 ; les enregistrements glycémiques continus dans les diabètes de type 1 et 2 ; la dysbiose intestinale et les maladies métaboliques ; les complications hépatiques ; le ramadan. Les nouvelles recommandations diagnostiques et thérapeutiques ont été approfondies dans le continuum de la longue histoire du diabète sucré. Deux chapitres entièrement actualisés, « arbres thérapeutiques et décisionnels dans le diabète de type 2 » et « insulinothérapie dans les diabètes de type 1 et 2 », leur sont consacrés. Didactique et pratique, cet ouvrage s’adresse à l’ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques.
