Diabetes in the Real World

by Charles Fox

Two doctors confront the issues and probems of diabetes care in general practice, from the perspective of the GP at the coal face. This is the real world, inhabited by real people, and by GPs with limited resources and a shortage of time - rather than the artificially ordered environment of many textbooks. Where there are definitive answers to management problems, the authors give them in the form of commandments. Frequently in diabetes care, there are dilemmas; here the authors state the options clearly and point out productive ways to resolve the issues.
