Glucose Metabolism Derangements in Pediatric Age

This book provides a practical and accessible guide to pediatric glycometabolic disorders, offering foundational knowledge for trainee pediatric specialists and general clinicians. While long-term management of type 1 diabetes remains a highly specialized area, the diagnosis and differentiation of diabetes types, as well as the recognition of conditions such as hypoglycemia, obesity-related metabolic syndrome, and drug-induced hyperglycemia, are essential skills for all pediatricians. By addressing these often-overlooked areas, the book equips clinicians to confidently identify, assess, and manage common glycometabolic conditions in children, bridging the gap between specialist and general practice.

Key Features:

• Clear, practical guidance for the diagnosis and differentiation of pediatric diabetes types.
• Covers common metabolic disorders beyond type 1 diabetes, including hypoglycemia, metabolic syndrome, and drug-induced hyperglycemia.
• Designed for trainee pediatric specialists and general clinicians seeking foundational knowledge.
• Emphasizes early recognition and management to improve patient outcomes.
• Bridges the gap between specialized and general pediatric care in glycometabolic disorders.
