Management of diabetes through both pharmacotherapy and non-pharmacological methods, for different related conditions is then discussed in depth, including diabetes in pregnancy and in the elderly. The final sections examine complications in diabetes such as diabetic foot, renal problems and co-morbidities, as well as prevention of the disease.
