' 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.'
