Atlas of Diabetes Mellitus, Third Edition (repost)

Diabetes mellitus is an extremely common disease that is reaching epidemic proportions owing to major increases in the incidence of obesity and the propensity for a sedentary life.
The need for physicians to familiarize themselves with all forms of diabetes is essential and the Atlas of Diabetes Mellitus goes a long way toward making the task easier for both qualified physicians and those in training.

This is an updated new edition of Dr. I.N. Scobie's highly acclaimed full-color atlas-text on the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus and its treatment. The atlas features over 100 excellent color plates illustrating the signs and symptoms of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and their treatment. The book contains an instructive review section that covers IDDM and NIDDM pathogenesis; treatments with diet, insulin, and drugs; acute complications of hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hyperosmolar non-ketoacidotic coma; chronic complications of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, major vascular disease, hypertension, and the diabetic foot; and diabetes and pregnancy. Detailed captions for each illustration enhance the book's value as an atlas-text for teaching, residency training, and clinical practice. Includes bibliographic references and index.
