Now in its sixth edition, the Textbook of Diabetes has established itself as the modern, international guide to diabetes. Sensibly organized and easy to navigate, with exceptional illustrations, the textbook hosts an unrivalled blend of clinical and scientific content.

These include the most recent guidelines from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), the American Diabetes Association (ADA), Diabetes UK, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and information on the latest treatment modalities used around the world.

The textbook includes free access to the Wiley Digital Edition which provides easy-to-use searching across the book, the full reference list with web links, illustrations and photographs, and post-publication updates.

Sample topics covered in Textbook of Diabetes include:

• Normal physiology, covering glucose homeostasis, islet function and insulin secretion, and glucagon in islet and metabolic regulation
• Pathogenesis of diabetes, covering genetics of diabetes and obesity, autoimmune type 1 diabetes and other disorders with type 1 diabetes phenotype
