Problem Solving in Diabetes

The evidence base in diabetes is accumulating rapidly. There has also been a boom in both the primary and secondary literature of diabetes - textbooks and monographs abound which summarize the classic characteristics of the 'typical' diabetes patient. Meanwhile doctors treating individuals need to keep up to date with recent developments, and must have current information to enable them to solve real life and everyday problems in the field - this book has been written to meet their needs.

The authors have drawn on their clinical experience backed up by wide critical reading in the current primary literature to identify 50 real problems and their solutions. Each case covers presentation, options, and an evidence-based management plan.

This book will be a valuable reference source for internal medicine physicians and diabetes and cardiology specialists, and its problem-based learning approach will make it especially suitable for trainees.
