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.
