Diabetes and Its Management Résumé

Diabetes and Its Management Peter J. Watkins (Kings College Hospital, London)

Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition (Endocrinology)

Judges' summary:
Beautifully and clearly written to appeal to all levels of healthcare professional knowledge. A wealth of practical experience is freely donated to the reader in a friendly and accessible way. Each section is easily found and any member of the team could care for a patient with that particular problem to a high standard with this book in their hand. I would unhesitatingly recommend to all diabetes doctors - both senior and junior, and every diabetes unit should have a copy. This new edition is excellent and should be considered for an award.

Diabetes and its Management, Sixth Edition, continues to provide a practical clinical guide to the management of patients with diabetes. The author team has been expanded and now also includes a Nurse Practitioner specialising in diabetes to provide the nursing perspective. It is a concise manual that distils the essential recent developments into practical advice.

Diabetes and Its Management Avis

'Its continued success undoubtedly rests on the authors' ability to pack so much information and opinion on diabetes into a short textbook format, and yet to make the subject approachable and the book so readable.'

John Anderson Consultant Physician, Homerton Hospital in Barts Journal in the fifth edition

'It is full of relevant information for the practising clincian, but also includes a useful theoretical background to diabetes... Overall, it is a very practical and stimulating book.'

Graham Leese Consultant Diabetologist, Ninewalls Hospital and Medical School in Hospital Update on the fifth edition
