The second edition was published in 2008, only two years after the first, but went out of print before a third edition could be prepared, so this revised version of the second edition is published to bridge the gap. Under the auspices of the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India, endocrinologists, immunologists, and other specialists present a broad reference on the disease of which India has more cases than any other country. After a review of landmarks in the history of diabetes, they cover physiology and metabolism, diagnosis and classification, epidemiology, etiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, genetics and immunology, clinical profile, management, co-morbid conditions, complications, diabetes through life and events, living with diabetes, health care delivery, and prevention. The two volumes are paged continuously, and both contain the combined index. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Encyclopaedic and international in scope, the textbook covers all aspects of diabetes ensuring a truly multidisciplinary and global approach. Sections covered include epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, management and complications of diabetes and public health issues worldwide. It incorporates a vast amount of new data regarding the scientific understanding and clinical management of this disease, with each new edition always reflecting the substantial advances in the field.

Edited by four world-famous diabetes specialists, the book is divided into 13 sections, each section edited by a section editor of major international prominence. As well as covering all aspects of diabetes, from epidemiology and pathophysiology to the management of the condition and the complications that arise, this fourth edition also includes two new sections on NAFLD, NASH and non-traditional associations with diabetes, and clinical trial evidence in diabetes. This fourth edition of an internationally recognised textbook will once again provide all those involved in diabetes research and development, as well as diabetes specialists with the most comprehensive scientific reference book on diabetes available.
