Description: Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition (Endocrinology)
Judges' summary:
"Beautifully and clearly written to appeal to all levels of healthcare professional knowledge. A wealth of practical experience is freely donated to the reader in a friendly and accessible way. Each section is easily found and any member of the team could care for a patient with that particular problem to a high standard with this book in their hand. I would unhesitatingly recommend to all diabetes doctors - both senior and junior, and every diabetes unit should have a copy. This new edition is excellent and should be considered for an award."
Diabetes and its Management, Sixth Edition, continues to provide a practical clinical guide to the management of patients with diabetes. The author team has been expanded and now also includes a Nurse Practitioner specialising in diabetes to provide the nursing perspective. It is a concise manual that distils the essential recent developments into practical advice.

Review quotes on previous editions:
"Its continued success undoubtedly rests of the authors' ability to pack so much information and opinion on diabetes into a short textbook format, and yet to make the subject approachable and the book so readable."
--John Anderson, Consultant Physician, Homerton Hospital, Barts Journal
"It is full of relevant information for the practising clinician, but also includes a useful theoretical background to diabetes.... Overall, it is a very practical and stimulating book."
--Graham Leese, Consultant Diabetologist, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, Hospital Update
