The increasing requirement in the UK to move much of diabetes practice into the community requires much more detailed knowledge of the condition by GPs and practice nurses. In Individualised Diabetes Management: A Guide for Primary Care, the authors show how new mechanisms of glucose control and advances in treatments arising from this can tailor treatment to the individual in primary care. This book incorporates the recent publication of the ADA/EASD guidelines and the August 2015 update from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
