Infos

The 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. All chapters are clearly structured to
highlight: definition of emergency; epidemiology; potential causes,
diagnosis, clinical management (including problem areas), follow-up
management/care; and patient advice.

There are case studies to aid clinical understanding, as well
as 5-7 multiple choice questions and several key points/take-home
message boxes in every chapter.

professionals who want a concise summary of important diabetic
complications causing significant morbidity and mortality."

pediatricians, interns and residents. Recommended for emergency
departments." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews

"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)
