From the reviews: "The book, which summarizes the entire spectrum of care in diabetes, with information from experts in the field, is especially useful for practicing clinicians as it seamlessly incorporates information from landmark studies. ... the book is written for practicing clinicians, and it is appropriate for residents, general medicine practitioners, family medicine practitioners, and endocrinologists. Each chapter is written by respected practicing endocrinologists who are credible authorities in diabetes care." (Malini Soundarrajan, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2014)
