This eBook is a medical education resource intended to supplement the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of medical students and pediatric residents in furthering their own knowledge about the general inpatient management of pediatric diabetes mellitus. This book may be of further use to any physician, advanced practitioners, or nurses who may also encounter pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus in the inpatient hospital setting. This book is specific to protocols and preferences for pediatric diabetes management at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. However, it also contains overarching concepts that transcend location wherever pediatric diabetes may be managed. At the time of publication, this book includes 4 Units, each consisting of 4-7 Chapters. Unit 1 introduces readers to an overview of diabetes mellitus, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, laboratory evaluation, clinical diagnosis, and key differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Unit 2 dives into understanding different types of insulins and their uses. Unit 3 walks readers through the creation of initial insulin regimens for pediatric patients with new-onset diabetes. Lastly, Unit 4 dives into the details of pediatric diabetes management at Stead Family Children’s Hospitals according to the protocols and capabilities of the institution and the preferences of the pediatric endocrinology division.

In 14 chapters, this book guides students and practitioners as they analyze modern-day policies meant to suppress voting, including asking why? Why would anyone want to strategize to prevent people from voting? Then, they examine how nonprofits and public agencies can (completely legally) encourage the people they serve to register to vote, help to educate them about issues that impact them, and assist and energize them to vote.

It is crucial to a healthy democracy and responsive communities that voters from every societal strata vote and express their needs and interests. It’s also crucial that people with the interests of the community at heart, run for office. That can appear a very heavy, complicated, and mysterious climb. In the second half of the book, students and practitioners learn how to run for office and have the resources to plan a campaign, step by step.
