Type 1 diabetes is a complex disease that can begin at any age. Healthcare professionals must diagnose and create individualized, flexible treatment plans to optimize blood glucose control in consideration of the psychosocial factors at the varying ages and developmental stages of each patient, all within the context of their individual support structures.
Completely updated and revised, this eighth edition of Medical Management of Type 1 Diabetes is an essential text addressing the fundamental aspects of type 1 diabetes for healthcare professionals. The book provides a fresh and comprehensive overview of the challenges and approaches to caring for patients with type 1 diabetes in accordance with the latest American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Acknowledgments
Sue Kirkman is grateful for her many colleagues, with diverse expertise, at the University of North Carolina and previously at the American Diabetes Association and at Indiana University. She appreciates the support and tireless work of the books staff at the ADA, particularly Victor Van Beuren. She would especially like to thank the many people with diabetes with whom she has interacted over her career. They have, by far, taught her more about diabetes than any other resource. Her greatest wish is that future advances in therapies and in tools for self-management will continue to improve their health and well-being.
