Abstract

This handbook provides a readily assimilated white coat pocket book in endocrinology and diabetes. The target audience is specialist registrars and SHOs in endocrinology, diabetes, and internal medicine. There is no other book that discusses clinical investigation and management in such a convenient way, including both the protocols and explicit clinical information necessary for the management of individual patients. All the individual chapters have been scrutinized by an expert panel of referees, to ensure a high quality product of international standing. From the Foreword by Professor Sir George Alberti, President of the Royal College of Physicians, London: "It contains many helpful practical nuggets and will, I am sure, be required briefcase or pocket content. It fills a gap in an important area of clinical practice. The authors and publishers are to be commended."
