Summary:

Given the shorter training periods of modern postgraduate medical education, Case Studies in Diabetes aims to provide components of clinical experience to help fill some of this 'experience gap'. Professor Betteridge has assembled an international team of established physicians to provide a series of illustrative case studies in diabetes that have contributed significantly to their depth of knowledge in the subject. Each case discusses key educational points and directs the reader to useful references and further reading.
