Klinická diabetologie v kostce – Krystyník Ondřej (2025)

This Czech-language book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of diabetes mellitus, one of the most common chronic diseases of the modern era, whose incidence and prevalence continue to rise worldwide. Although modern pharmacotherapy and advanced technologies have significantly improved glycaemic control and the management of late complications over the past two decades, diabetes remains a chronic metabolic disease that substantially affects patients’ quality and length of life. Its complex nature requires not only specialised diabetological care but also active cooperation among doctors from many medical fields. The book is intended for all professionals who encounter diabetic patients in daily practice, including general practitioners, diabetologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, surgeons, gynaecologists and other specialists, and may also serve as a useful source of information for medical students. The first part offers a clear summary of diabetes diagnosis and classification, including acute and chronic complications, current pharmacological treatment and the use of modern technologies in diabetes management. Further chapters address selected clinical issues frequently encountered by doctors caring for diabetic patients, including preoperative and perioperative care, the treatment of hospitalised patients and specific questions related to pregnancy. The aim is to provide a practical overview that supports everyday decision-making and forms a basis for further study in diabetology.
