Description: "Diabetic Neurology bridges the gap between diabetology and neurology with a practioner-friendly guide for the recognition, investigation and management of diabetic patients with neurological disease. The book provides a comprehensive practical review of the problems encountered at the interface of diabetes and neurology. The point form format facilitates a thorough summary of the diabetological and neurological approach to patients and their related disease states. The text discusses problems neurologists may encounter in diabetic patients and the important neurological issues to consider in diabetes clinics. The emphasis is on adult patients and some topics are deliberately covered in more than one section, depending on the context of the discussion"--Provided by publisher.
