Diabetes Guide e-bog

Diabetes Guide adopts a novel "e;non-textual"e; approach to thedissemination ofcomprehensive, up-to-date information onthe theory and practice of diabetology. This has beenachieved through the liberal use of tables, diagrams,flowsheets, summaries and annotations in place of the usualprose and verbiage. As a result of such an economic use ofspace, vast amounts of knowledge on the definition,classification, management complications and various otheraspects of diabetes have been condensed intoa surprisinglydigestible pocketbook. Emerging perspectives on geneticcounseling, the insulin gene and pancreatic transplantationare also incorporated. One outstanding feature of DiabetesGuide is the provision of succinct practical recommendationsfor the solution of problemsthat arise during the dailycare of patients with diabetes. The subjects covered underthese recommendations range from insulin infuser pumpproblems, care of foot ulcers, food exchanges, travel andacute illness, insulin allergy and desensitization protocol,diabetic emergencies,pregnancy, surgery, hypoglycaemia,etc. Such breadth of coverage has been achieved without theusual price of increased bulk through the unique"e;non-Textual"e; approach. Diabetes Guide is designed to be auser-friendly, ready reference of vade mecum for practicaltips and core information on various aspects of diabetes.
