Customer Reviews

Excellent, but...
OK, it's an excellent book with 500 pages of compact and clearly-labelled sections on all aspects of diabetes, its treatment and complications.

What detracts from it slightly is having to plod through the spelling mistakes, wild punctuation and poor proof-reading! A problem with the publisher rather than the author.
