This book is a collection of short chapters, each focused on a subject related to the management of diabetes and its complications. The chapters are written by acknowledged experts in the field, who are also clinicians dealing with diabetes on a day-to-day basis.

“The book, which summarizes the entire spectrum of care in diabetes, with information from experts in the field, is especially useful for practicing clinicians as it seamlessly incorporates information from landmark studies. … the book is written for practicing clinicians, and it is appropriate for residents, general medicine practitioners, family medicine practitioners, and endocrinologists. Each chapter is written by respected practicing endocrinologists who are credible authorities in diabetes care.” (Malini Soundarrajan, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
