Editor’s Note, DCMS #100:

Many of you sent some great feedback in on last week’s Homerun Slides on Leveraging Weight Loss in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes, Part 1, and we are glad to bring you part 2 this week.

Our Clinical Text from Joslin’s Diabetes Deskbook — A Guide for Primary Care Providers on The How’s and Why’s of Medical Nutrition Therapy has the answers to such questions as: Does fiber have any caloric value? What percentage of calories should protein constitute? What are the different pathways fat is metabolized? And when are ketones dangerous?

Our Disaster Averted is from our archives and reminds us that we need to make sure patients really understand our instructions when we are teaching insulin administration.
