Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, and the cardiovascular
complications of diabetes are life-threatening and disabling. This
book is unique in providing a simple explanation of the biochemical
role of PKC in diabetes complications, which allows clinicians to
understand why PKC inhibitors (in development) are an exciting
prospect for future treatment to slow progression of eye & foot
complications.
New features of this Second Edition include:
* * Updated throughout to reflect the impact of recent major
clinical trials on current clinical practice
* Includes a major new section on diabetic neuropathy
* Revised section on diabetic retinopathy
Each chapter is short and succinct, focusing on ’best
practice’. There are key learning points at the end of each
chapter, with numerous helpful tables, figures and clinical
images.
