Description
This comprehensive postgraduate work is directed to all involved in the care of diabetic patients both in hospital and in the community and to those involved with research into diabetes and its complications. As such it covers aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, and also fully reviews diabetic complications affecting the nerves, eyes, feet, kidneys and other organs and their treatment. Whilst diabetes itself is inconvenient, the complications can be lethal, and these together with treatment are addressed in full. There is a thorough review of the way diabetes can affect the sufferer's lifestyle (driving, work, sex and so on), and how to adapt to this change.
