Reviews

From the book reviews: Cardiovascular disease occurs also, but rarely, in late adolescence and young adults, depending on age at onset of disease and degree of metabolic control. Thus, this well referenced and up to date text is mainly of interest to adult diabetologists , cardiologists and researchers. (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 12 (1), September, 2014)
