The probability of diabetic complications and their progression has been greatly reduced by the implementation of modern treatment regimens, better monitoring of control and improved education. Diabetic Complications comprehensively reviews diabetes care by outlining the nature of the complication, how susceptibility and risk can be identified, the importance of screening during the early stages and the manner in which appropriate investigation and management should be undertaken. Chapters are written by experienced clinicians with the emphasis on multidisciplinary care, both primary and secondary, and include:

• Diabetic retinopathy
• Diabetic renal disease
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Macrovascular disease in diabetes mellitus
• Nursing perspectives

This volume is essential reading for all those working with people who have diabetes, whether doctors, nurse specialists or allied health workers.
