Short description
This practical guide for the multidisciplinary team (physician, obstetrician, specialist nurse) involved in the care of pregnant patients with diabetes shows how to incorporate the NICE guidelines into treatment.

Most chapters include an illustrative case history and relevant tables/pictures. Each chapter contains a series of references graded in order of importance.
