This work addresses diabetes as both a bio-chemical disease and a psychosocial problem, and provides research-based information with suggestions for problem solving and planning. Divided into three sections, the first part of the book introduces diabetes and examines the altered physiology, the diagnosis, the treatments available and complications. The second section addresses the practice of patient education and the clinical management of diabetes. The final section examines diabetes care in context, and looks at broader issues such as the psychological and ethical aspects of diabetes. This is a detailed, practical guide to the clinical management of diabetes, giving advice on what to do in specific circumstances both in hospital and in the community.
