Textbook Of Diabetes Slide Atlas

The Slide Atlas of Diabetes is a carefully selected collection of illustrations, charts and tables. Many are taken from the highly acclaimed Second Edition of the Textbook of Diabetes and have been specially adapted for presentation as slides. Where necessary, images have been updated to reflect recent changes in diabetes classification and the emergence of new treatment options. The slides and accompanying Lecture Notes booklet provide the lecturer with a comprehensive resource for the presentation of lectures and seminars. The Atlas achieves the same high standard of presentation and content as the Textbook. Diagrams and information have been drawn from both clinical and scientific chapters to ensure a balanced representation of material.

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.
