Reviews

The book explores everything; diagnosis, dietary and exercise advice, landmark studies, and even the technology used in insulin pumps and glucose meters... Any medical language is clearly explained making it easy to think about how this information can be conveyed and best understood in clinical practice... Given that no two diabetic patients are the same, something the book consistently points out, this would be particularly valuable for the ward-based bedside nurse at the forefront of patient care looking to comprehend this variety as quickly and easily as possible and incorporate it into their practice. * Nursing Times *
