Owing to the number of different forms of diabetes and the choice of treatment both new and established, Professor Betteridge has chosen 19 different topics by 19 internationally recognized specialists which will provide the reader with the latest information regarding the pathophysiology and diagnosis of this disease and the current choice of management options. Its aim is not to be a comprehensive textbook, but an up-to-date guide which will either confirm the physician's decisions or aid him in new treatment strategies.
