Description
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Major complications include nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy and heart disease, which affect thousands of diabetics every year.

Each chapter describes the epidemiology, aetiology and management of a particular complication and discusses the organisation and delivery of care.

  • Includes all the major chronic complications of diabetes
