Klappentext

'This book is of interest to clinicians of different specialties participating in the management of diabetic patients, but it is also good reference source for researchers in this field.' Journal of the Royal Col. of Phy. of London 26: 4 1992 '....but I can thoroughly recommend it to cardiologists, diabetologists, endocrinologists, general physicians, geriatricians, pathologists and vascular surgeons.'
