"This book offers a practical and precise guide for the management of a person with diabetes during a hospital admission. The book is easy to navigate and, in its six chapters, concentrates on basics, acute diabetes problems, clinical cases complicated by diabetes, glucose management, and glucose-lowering medication in general. This provides a one-stop basic guide on what a practitioner needs to know about diabetes care." (Practical Diabetes 2016)
