Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights provides a holistic view of the disease, discussing not only its classical complications but also the under recognized and managed conditions associated with diabetes. Chapters also discuss advances in our understanding of the genomic architecture of diabetes complications and how precision medicine can be used to personalize their management. Endocrinologists, diabetologists, primary care physicians and researchers interested in complications of diabetes mellitus and cutting-edge information will find this to be a comprehensive tome on the topic.
Diabetes complications include pathological changes usually related to the vascular system and classical target organs. However, there are also nonclassical complications independent or partially independent from vascular damage that are often overlooked.

Núria Alonso, MD PhD is a staff endocrinologist and head of the diabetes section at the Department of Endocrinology & Nutrition at University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol Badalona, Spain. She is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Autonomous University of Barcelona. N. Alonso has published a total of 66 scientific articles in indexed journals. Currently, her clinical activity is mainly focused on those conditions that are associated with an increased risk of atheromatous CV disease, with special focus on diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) and familial hypercholesterolemia. In the clinical research field, she is focused on the study of subclinical atheromatosis in patients with diabetes, as well as its association with microvascular complications. In recent years, her scientific activity has also developed on the study of lipotoxicity in diabetes and its association with ectopic fat deposition. She has been principal investigator of several research projects funded by national and international agencies.
