Description
Nurses and other members of the primary health care team are becoming ever more involved in the management of patients with diabetes. This book is needed by practice nurses who are often now responsible for setting up and running 'mini clinics' within general practice to handle the shared care (between hospital and community) of diabetic patients. It is also needed to help all team members who are dealing with an increased number of diabetic patients in the community, as the Community Care Act takes effect. This is a comprehensive text on the management of the diabetic patient in the community. The emphasis is on the patient throughout, and this is conveyed via case studies and examples.
