Abstract
Over 34 million Americans have diabetes, of which up to 95% have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Centers for Disease Control (CDC). 2019 National Diabetes Fact Sheet [Internet], last reviewed May 30, 2019. Available at https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/type2.html). T2DM is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness, and numerous other complications. It is therefore critical for clinicians to recognize the risk factors and underlying physiology that contribute to the development of T2DM. Appropriate screening, lifestyle interventions, glycemic targets, methods of self-monitoring, and clinical management of T2DM and its sequelae (micro- and macrovascular complications) will be reviewed in this chapter.
