Customer Reviews

excellent synopsis of diabetes with good illustrations
This is a good overall review of diabetes with easy to follow chapters covering all aspects of the condition. The text is very easy to follow and is accompanied by good, clear illustrations which enhance the readers understanding. It should prove useful to both clinicans and other health care professionals involved in the field. A good easy to use reference text.
