Diabetes affects over 29 million United States citizens and is the 7th leading cause of death, accounting for 23.9 per 100,000. Proper nursing care of the patient with diabetes is critical to the patient's wellbeing. The treatment of diabetes has been changing rapidly. The articles in this issue cover statistics, pathophysiology, and the current treatment recommendations written in a very practical manor for the bedside or clinic nurse who is not up to date on the latest recommendations and is not an expert in diabetes management.
