Diabetes Mellitus is a common disorder in which there is an abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. It can usually be controlled through various types of treatment, but sometimes the treatment can fail leading to emergency situations. This volume provides a comprehensive account of emergencies in diabetes and endocrinology.
While diabetes can usually be well-controlled using modern therapies, metabolic emergencies inevitably occur. This book provides an easy-to-read yet comprehensive account of emergencies in diabetes conveniently collected into one volume. For each topic, a brief review of the pathophysiology is followed by a description of cardinal clinical features, clinical and biochemical assessment and clinical management.* Clear, informative text for rapid and easy assimilation* Emphasis on evidence-based medicine* Effective use of illustrations to highlight and summarize key points Designed to fit conveniently into the pocket of a white coat, this book should be readily to hand in all hospital medical wards, particularly A&E. It will be useful to junior hospital doctors across a wide range of specialties, senior house officers in general medical training, and nurses involved in the care of patients with diabetes.
