Short description
New developments and evidence from clinical and published trials as well as the ever-growing threat of diabetes demanded a second edition of The Evidence Base for Diabetes Care. With helpful tables, this modified edition provides a coherent overview of the management and treatment of diabetes. The text explores studies underway and alternative approaches for where evidence is lacking. Presenting a clear, comprehensive account needed to ensure the best care for diabetic people, this book is essential for clinicians.
