Sommario/riassunto

Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition (Endocrinology) Judges' summary:"Beautifully and clearly written to appeal to all levels of healthcare professional knowledge. A wealth of practical experience is freely donated to the reader in a friendly and accessible way. Each section is easily found and any member of the team could care for a patient with that particular problem to a high standard with this book in their hand. I would unhesitatingly



recommend to all diabetes doctors - both senior and junior, and every diabetes unit should have a copy. This new edition
