Type 1 diabetes

Whilst the management of Type 1 diabetes is still predominantly a hospital-based specialty, increasing numbers of patients are supervised in primary care. This book emphasises both the unique nature of Type 1 diabetes and its fundamental differences from Type 2 diabetes (at least in its "classic" form), and also draws together the common threads of management ù especially in the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular complications ù its common coexistence with the insulin resistance syndrome, and the importance of late-onset Type 1 diabetes in older patients.

This highly practical volume in the Oxford Diabetes Library is intended for all health care professionals in primary and secondary care who treat patients with Type 1 diabetes --Book Jacket.
