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 is excellent and should be considered for an award."Diabetes and its Management, Sixth Edition, continues to provide a practical clinical guide to the management of patients with diabetes. The author team has been expanded and now also includes a Nurse Practitioner specialising in diabetes to provide the nursing perspective. It is a concise manual that distils the essential recent developments into practical advice.Content: Chapter 1 Diagnosis and Classification (pages 1-15): Chapter 2 Epidemiology of Diabetes (pages 16-22): Chapter 3 Synthesis, Secretion and Actions of Insulin (pages 23-32): Chapter 4 Metabolic Changes in Diabetes: A Summary (pages 33-37): Chapter 5 Aetiology and Genetics (pages 38-45): Chapter 6 Clinical Features of Diabetes (pages 48-54): Chapter 7 Management of Type 2 Diabetes (pages 55-65): Chapter 8 Management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (pages 66-78): Chapter 9 Hypoglycaemia (pages 79-87): Chapter 10 Diabetic Hyperglycaemic Emergencies (pages 88-94): Chapter 11 Management of Diabetes During Surgery and Other Illnesses (pages 95-103): Chapter 12 Pregnancy and Diabetes (pages 106-115): Chapter 13 Diabetes in Children (pages 116-121): Chapter 14 An Overview of Microvascular Complications (pages 124-131): Chapter 15 Diabetes and the Kidney (pages 132-143): Chapter 16 Diabetic Eye Disease (pages 144-151): Chapter 17 Diabetic Neuropathies (pages 152-165): Chapter 18 The Diabetic Foot (pages 166-180): Chapter 19 Cardiovascular Disease (pages 181-189): Chapter 20 Hypertension (pages 190-194): Chapter 21 Living with Diabetes (pages 196-202): Chapter 22 Organization of Care (pages 203-212):
