Review' This book is of interest to clinicians of different specialties participating in the management of diabetic patients, but it is also good reference source for researchers in this field. ' Journal of the Royal Col. of Phy. of London 26:4 1992'....but I can thoroughly recommend it to cardiologists, diabetologists, endocrinologists, general physicians, geriatricians, pathologists and vascular surgeons.' Age and Ageing 22:1 1993'I will find the book a useful source. I recommend the book to those who are interested in the all too common problem that it is atherosclerosis that most commonly leads to the clinical morbidity and early death of our diabetic patients.' The Ulster Medical Journal 61:1 1992
