This atlas features 114 full-colour plates illustrating the signs and symptoms of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and its treatment. The book contains an instructive review section that covers IDDM and NIDDM pathogenesis; treatments with diet, insulin, and drugs; acute complications of hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hyperosmolar non-ketoacidotic coma; chronic complications of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, major vascular disease, hypertension, and the diabetic foot; and diabetes and pregnancy. Detailed captions for each illustration enhance the book's value as an atlas-text for teaching, residency training, and clinical practice. Includes bibliographic references and index.
"I am unaware of any other illustrated text with the breadth and scope of Dr. Scobie's An Atlas of Diabetes Mellitus....I have no doubt that both my students and I will find this book useful for many years to come." - Robert A. Rizzo, M.D.
