Editorial Reviews

Review

"The information is very general and succinct, and is ideal for use in the clinical setting...This is a very readable and well-written book, with readily accessible and up-to-date information and advice".

Inprint (on first edition)

"The book is well written and presented. It is certainly user-friendly...The manual is an excellent guide to specific nursing action needed in the care of people with diabetes. I would be happy to see a copy on every hospital ward".

Journal of Nursing Management (on first edition)

"The stated intention of the editor of this book is to provide an easy-to-use reference for practising nurses as well as a resource for students. It serves this purpose well".

Nursing Times (on first edition)

'All these factors would be enough to distinguish this book as a must for health professionals, both generalists as well as specialists in diabetes care. However the sound basis of the author's extensive practical knowledge and experience and her approach to the person as an individual whose quality of life must be considered adds a further important dimension. All in all an essential resource for hospital libraries and individual health professional's reference libraries.'
