==Much duplication in content== | |||
I would hesitate to make so much detail in the '''management''' section of this [[diabetes mellitus]] page. There is already much management detail on [[Diabetes mellitus type 2]] and duplicating here is going to make a mess. I suggest only putting stuff here that is common to both DM1 and DM2. | |||
Regarding '''diagnosis''', seems fine to focus the content on the [[Diabetes mellitus]] page. However, rather than starting a new on this page, there is much on the dx of [[Diabetes mellitus type 2]] that can be moved here. - [[User:Robert Badgett|Robert Badgett]] 00:10, 7 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
Latest revision as of 18:10, 6 March 2009
I thought I would work through this page along the following sections. It would be great if someone joins in. Help with epidemiology would be greatly appreciated.
I will try not to refer to 'patients' as people get diabetes not patients and I will also try not to say diabetics as it defines people by a disease.
This page has grown into a general introduction to DM and a some introduction to the differences and similarities of the sub-types. I will continue with:
Management of diabetes mellitus
Glycaemic control, mimimisation of adverse effects, lifestyle changes, drugs
Epidemiology of diabetes mellitus
Including future trends
History of diabetes mellitus
Eber papyrus, Soranus, and onward

Much duplication in content
I would hesitate to make so much detail in the management section of this diabetes mellitus page. There is already much management detail on Diabetes mellitus type 2 and duplicating here is going to make a mess. I suggest only putting stuff here that is common to both DM1 and DM2.
Regarding diagnosis, seems fine to focus the content on the Diabetes mellitus page. However, rather than starting a new on this page, there is much on the dx of Diabetes mellitus type 2 that can be moved here. - Robert Badgett 00:10, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
