Recenzii

From the reviews:
“The purpose is to provide clinicians who care for diabetic patients a convenient, easy-to-use, clinical resource about painful diabetic neuropathy. The book is written for primary care practitioners and diabetologists, and it also may be useful for residents and trainees in the field of internal medicine. … In addition to briefly covering the epidemiology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and management, the book also discusses the negative impact diabetic neuropathy has on a patient’s quality of life.” (Heather Huang, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2011)
