The book contains an instructive review section that covers IDDM and NIDDM pathogenesis; treatments with diet, insulin, and drugs; acute complications of hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hyperosmolar non-ketoacidotic coma; chronic complications of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, major vascular disease, hypertension, and the diabetic foot; and diabetes and pregnancy. Detailed captions for each illustration enhance the book's value as an atlas-text for teaching, residency training, and clinical practice. Includes bibliographic references and index.
