Gathers a prominent group of global researchers who share expert knowledge and views on diabetes. Readers will gain insights into groundbreaking therapies and approaches to preventing and managing diabetes complications. The book, a result of the 3rd Cambridge-Oxford-Sunway Biomedical Symposium, further shares the most recent advances in diabetes research from a Malaysian perspective.

Much research has contributed to a good understanding of diabetes, but a lot remains unknown. In this book, readers will learn about the current knowledge base and new areas of interest in the management of diabetes.

This book contains two main sections. In the first, Expert Discourse, leading international professionals in the field share their views on and insights into diabetes and how its prevalence and complications can be reduced. Some contributors include Professor Sir Stephen O'Rahilly and Professor Fiona Gribble from University of Cambridge, and Professor John Todd from University of Oxford. The second section, Extended Abstracts, shares some of the work done by researchers in the field of diabetes.

This book is suitable for educators, researchers, medical consultants, public health professionals, and the interested general public.
