This book brings together important information about complementary
therapies and how they are used in diabetes care. It addresses the
benefits and risks of complementary therapies and takes an
evidence-based approach. Complementary Therapies and the
Management of Diabetes and Vascular Disease: A Matter of
Balance provides health professionals with appropriate
information about complementary therapies so they can discuss these
therapies with their patients and help them make informed decisions
about their diabetes care.
Managing diabetes depends on achieving life balance, not just
metabolic control. This is the first book devoted exclusively to
complementary therapies and diabetes, and it has several key
features:
* It is an informative evidence-based text that will help health
professionals understand complementary therapies commonly used by
people with diabetes, their potential benefits, possible adverse
events and how these could be minimised or prevented.
* It describes clinical practice guidelines for the safe
combination of complementary and conventional therapies in diabetes
management.
* It suggests appropriate advice to give people with diabetes and
vascular disease about complementary therapies.
Written by experts in the various fields, this book makes
important reading for all health professionals managing patients
with diabetes and associated vascular disease, including nurses,
doctors, dietitians and podiatrists.
