"With key points and summaries at the beginning and end of each section, this book is clear and easy to navigate, making it an ideal tool for diabetes specialists, diabetes nurses and podiatrists." (Mpilibrary.blogspot.co.uk, 12 September 2014) "Using a case study format, this volume for diabetes specialists, nurses and podiatrists illustrates the multidisciplinary care and clinical management of patients with foot and lower limb problems that are a result of diabetes."
"...this book should be available to everyone involved in the care of people with diabetes and foot disease, as a stimulus to reflecting on one's own practice, learning from experts and (as the authors state) improving the outcome of diabetic foot disease."
