Synopses & Reviews
Diabetes in the New Millenium provides a state-of-the-art account of basic and clinical research in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Chapters comprehensively cover all areas of diabetes mellitus giving both a review of research already completed and highlighting goals to be achieved in the future.
- Includes contributions from distinguished scientists
- Covers all areas including pathogenesis of type 1, animal models of diabetes, management of type 2 diabetes and diabetic complications
This book is set to become a major work within the field as the specialty enters the twenty-first century. As such,
Diabetes in the New Millenium will be essential for all members of the diabetes specialist team (doctors, clinicians, GPs and nurses) as well as those, such as chirpodists and nutritionists, who are involved in the care of people with diabetes.
Review
"An overview of basic and clinical research to date in type one and type two diabetes and their complications, emphasizing questions that will need to be addressed in the coming years..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)
