Synopsis

As with many other chronic diseases, the day-to-day management of patients with diabetes is often centred within specialised diabetic clinics. These centres are often comprised of hospital doctors who might be diabetologists or allied specialists (such as ophthalmologists), family practitioners, diabetes specialist nurses, liaison nurses, chiropordists, etc.

This book provides an illustrated guide to many of the clinical conditions and organisational challenges encountered in diabetic clinics. It is ideal as a quick desk-top reference guide and teaching aid for those working in or setting up a clinic.

The majority of the book uses an at-a-glance format in which clinical illustrations are on one page and descriptive text on the opposite page. The book is divided into five major sections that cover the common complications of diabetes, with two other sections and appendices that cover the organisation of diabetes care, good recordkeeping and key drugs and insulin preparations.

About this title

An Illustrated Guide for the Diabetic Clinic is an ideal destop reference guide for all health-care professionals involved with diabetic clinics. The text offers an 'at-a-glance' format with clinical illustrations on one page and descriptive text on the other. An Illustrated Guide for the Diabetic Clinic is divided into 5 main sections, which cover the common complications of diabetes. Two additional sections outline the organisation of diabetes care and drugs and insulins.

Review:

"Beautifully presented colour photographs of classical cases lie on a facing page to concise bullet-pointed text. The language is easily comprehensible, yet the content not overly basic...After giving a basic seminar of clinical aspects of diabetes and its management, this is one book which a lecturer could safely advise students to read from cover-to-cover, an essential but not strenuous course reading."

Guy's Gazette

"...this is an extremely useful book to have in any hospital or community clinic for those providing care to people with diabetes and is also an invaluable teaching aid."

Journal of Community Nursing

"This is a great book. Its quick reference covers practically every condition associated with diabetes that you're likely to see in a diabetic clinic and to top it all off has pictures of all of them as well, fantastic."
