Reviews

“Of excellent technical production; many illustrations and tables in color.”  (Journal Pediatric Endocrinology
Reviews, 1 November 2012) "This sizeable book has been condensed into one volume with 12 sections and 62 chapters, each clearly laid out with colour diagrams, tables and a very useful summary of key points." (Diabetes Update, 1 April 2011) "Overall, the 4th edition of Textbook of Diabetes is likely to be most useful to health-care providers who are involved in diabetes disease state management. The evidence-based Clinical Practice Recommendations, developed by the American Diabetes Association and revised to include up-to-date research findings on an annual basis, are additional relevant and important resources for health-care providers and will complement the use of this textbook." (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, January 2011) "A companion website (access included) contains all the content as well as multiple choice questions for each chapter, reference lists with external links, and figures from the book for downloading." (Book News, September 2010) "the 4th edition of the 'Textbook of Diabetes' is a complete reference guide to all aspects of diabetes care and a worthy successor to the previous editions. It will be an invaluable addition to any medical library or diabetes centre." (Practical Diabetes International, November 2010) "In common with previous editions there is an exceptional list of expert international contributors who have written chapters that are all well researched, easy to read and comprehensively referenced with the key points neatly summarised in bullet points at the beginning of each chapter. The book is also beautifully illustrated with numerous full colour figures and photographs." (Practical Diabetes International, November 2010)
