About the Textbook

Diabetes is rapidly becoming the scourge of the modern world. Currently, there are approximately 150 million people with diabetes worldwide, mainly type 2 diabetes. It is likely that as many as half of the cases have not yet been diagnosed and the numbers are likely to double over the next 25 years.

Reflecting these developments, Wiley presents the new edition of the International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus , written and edited by a team of over 200 internationally recognised experts in the field of diabetes. Clear and concise articles provide comprehensive treatment of topics from developing as well as developed countries and provide a global perspective on this widespread problem.

Encyclopedic in scope, the International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus covers all aspects of diabetes ensuring a truly multidisciplinary approach. Sections covered include epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, management and complications of diabetes and public health issues worldwide. It incorporates a vast amount of new data regarding the scientific understanding and clinical management of this disease, reflecting the substantial advances in the field.

With the flexibility afforded by the powerful search and navigation capabilities of Wiley Online Library, you can search the Textbook by subject, article and keyword. The first chapters launched online in August 2003, with further chapters added subsequently. Online publication of the core chapters is now complete, and the publication date of the print edition of the Textbook is confirmed as April 2004. With new and revised articles to be added, this work will stay at the forefront of developments within the various fields of diabetes.
