Image of ABC of Diabetes (5th edition)

Diabetes once diagnosed is for life. The perseverance and self-discipline needed over a lifetime can often tax even the most robust of people to the limit. Those caring for them also require perseverance and an understanding of humanity combined with a cautious optimism to guide those with diabetes through the peaks and troughs of their lives. The ABC of Diabetes is intended as a strictly practical guide to the management of diabetes and its complications and is directed to all those doctors, nurses and health professionals who see diabetic patients, and should also be of use to medical students. It reflects the advances in practice and methods that have been made in recent years. Chapters include insulin treatment, hypoglycaemia, diabetic ketoacidosis and management of diabetes during surgery, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathies, automatic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, lipids and myocardial infarction and pregnancy.
