Description
Book SynopsisThe book explores both the clinical presentation of serious diabetic emergencies (like ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, and severe hyper and hypoglycemia) that consultants and hospital staff encounter in practice and the best methods of both managing the emergencies and also administering follow-up guidance/care.
Trade Review"In conclusion, this book should appeal to all healthcare professionals who want a concise summary of important diabetic complications causing significant morbidity and mortality." (Diabetes Update, 1 March 2014)
“A concise guide for practicing physicians, including pediatricians, interns and residents. Recommended for emergency departments.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews Journal, 1 September 2013)
"As a quick guide to common diabetic emergencies, the book is most appropriate for nurses and medical students starting on the wards, and as a review for nonendocrinologists. It reviews common situations in both inpatient and outpatient settings, in both adults and children." (Doody's, 6 January 2012)
