520			_aEvery nurse encounters patients with diabetes in the course of daily practice in hospital or in primary care. This portable collection of core knowledge and best practice in management of diabetes provides support for the non-specialist and a training tool/aide memoire for both the trainee and returner. The pocket reference provides a brief introduction to the main clinical features of diabetes, followed by overviews of daily management and self care, acute care, and continuing care and complications. Key transient issues for the diabetic patient are covered: steroid therapy, surgery, fasting, pregnancy and travel. All sections are fully referenced to enable further study of each topic covered. The authors have comprehensively updated the book to reflect latest developments eg: emphasis on patient self-care; new therapeutic approaches; current views on blood glucose monitoring. This is an invaluable resource for the practitioner, and for shared use in ward, clinic or community.
