Diabetic Maze: Art of Pharmacotherapy – Eslam Nasser

Diabetic Maze: Art of Pharmacotherapy is a comprehensive clinical guide dedicated to the pharmacological management of diabetes mellitus. Written by Dr. Eslam Nasser with contributions from Amira Samy and Rokaya Abd-Elnasser, this book aims to simplify the increasingly complex landscape of diabetes treatment and therapeutic decision-making.

The book follows a practical progression that begins with insulin physiology and the fundamental concepts of diabetes mellitus before moving into modern treatment strategies, insulin regimens, antihyperglycemic medications, and the management of diabetes-related complications.

With diabetes affecting millions worldwide and treatment options expanding rapidly, healthcare professionals need a reliable reference that explains not only drug mechanisms but also how to select the most appropriate therapy for individual patients. Diabetes management requires understanding insulin physiology, pharmacology, patient characteristics, comorbidities, and complication prevention.
