✦ Synopsis

Each chapter is a discrete essay on an important aspect of diabetes care. Chap. 1 starts with prevention of diabetes – perhaps the most important public health challenge of our time. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with aspects of management to reduce the risk of diabetic complications – including glycaemic management, which is the subject of intense debate and controversy in the literature at the moment. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with management of some of the chronic complications of diabetes, in which there has been significant progress in recent years. Finally, Chap. 6 deals with managing diabetes in hospitalized patients – an area where the greatest financial burden of diabetes occurs.
