Diabetes Guide

Diabetes Guide adopts a novel „non-textual“ approach to the
dissemination ofcomprehensive, up-to-date information on
the theory and practice of            diabetology. This has been
achieved through the liberal use of tables,         diagrams,
flowsheets, summaries and annotations in place of the                  usual
prose and verbiage. As a result of such an economic use of
space, vast amounts of knowledge on the definition,
classification, management      complications and various other
aspects of diabetes have been condensed intoa surprisingly
digestible pocketbook. Emerging perspectives on                     genetic
counseling, the insulin gene and pancreatic transplantation
are also incorporated. One outstanding feature of Diabetes
Guide is the            provision of succinct practical recommendations
for the solution of problemsthat arise during the daily
care of patients with diabetes. The subjects      covered under
these recommendations range from insulin infuser                     pump
problems, care of foot ulcers, food exchanges, travel and
acute      illness, insulin allergy and desensitization protocol,
diabetic emergencies, pregnancy, surgery, hypoglycaemia,
etc. Such breadth of coverage has been   achieved without the
usual price of increased bulk through the                     unique
„non-Textual“ approach. Diabetes Guide is designed to be                  a
user-friendly, ready reference of vade mecum for practical
tips and   core information on various aspects of diabetes.
