RSSDI TEXTBOOK OF DIABETES MELILITUS

The RSSDI Textbook on Diabetes Mellitus provides information about the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in India and discusses various aspects of the disease. This publication has been planned keeping in view several objectives. One of these objectives is that a large number of primary care physicians as well as an increasing number of specialists are in need of comprehensive knowledge on basic and applied aspects of the disease. The authors and compilers of the book feel that India needs a book of her own to cater to the needs of the burgeoning number of medical practitioners dealing with diabetes in this country as well as to those of its neighbors in South, Mid and South East Asia. The scope of the textbook has been proposed to be wide so as to be of service to general practitioners as well as to broaden their academic outlook. It has been designed to target the requirements of family physicians, academicians, clinical researchers and diabetes oriented health professionals at large. Each chapter is comprehensive and reasonably elaborate and lists of references are adequate and appropriate. Contributions provided by experienced professors as well as senior and young clinical researchers from all parts of the country and some from abroad, have enriched the contents to the best possible extent.
