This pocketbook on diabetes adopts a non-textual approach, presenting information on the theory and practice of diabetology largely by means of tables, flowsheets, summaries and annotated diagrams. Throughout, practical recommendations for problem solving in daily care are offered. Among the topics covered in the book are insulin infuser pump problems, the care of foot ulcers, food exchanges, travel and acute illness, insulin allergy and desensitization protocol, diabetic emergencies, pregnancy, surgery, hypoglycaemia and more. Emerging perspectives on genetic counselling, the insulin gene and pancreatic transplantation are also incorporated.
