With the increasing incidence of Type 2 diabetes in the adult population and the realization that this is a vascular disease and a major coronary risk factor, Professor Betteridge has chosen fifty diabetologists to contribute a case which has had an effect on their clinical practice.

The various cases are informative and educational and should provide the reader with a sounder knowledge of patient and disease types.
