`Reviews from previous diabetes title by this author This book is
well written, easy to understand and contains a wealth of knowledge
for health professionals.'

`I would recommend this book for someone who (1) is starting to
care for patients with diabetes, and (2) already has the
theoretical knowledge of diabetes and who needs specific, practical
guidelines on how to diagnose, treat, educate and follow-up
individuals with diabetes.'
