'Textbook of Diabetes is an extremely well organized, superbly edited, richly illustrated two-volume set from Britain... The chapters have logical beginnings and endings and are self-contained. Each begins with a summary of the chapter contents - a true summary, not a mere listing of the topics to be discussed... Until receiving this new text, I referred equally as often to Joslin's Diabetes Mellitus (Williams and Wilkins 1994) and International Textbook of Diabetes (Wiley, 1997). If truth be told, Pickup and Williams' Textbook of Diabetes is slightly easier to read because of the typeface and graphs. As I have less time than ever, this attention to detail will certainly make it as attractive as the other two.'
-JAMA, April 1998 (on the second edition)
'The media, especially television, often offer programs on diabetes, and numerous books about diabetes are presented to to general practitioners, nurses, dieticians and specialists. While this is certainly the result of a growing interest in the subject and a greater demand for knowledge about it, one might wonder about the real need to another book about diabetes. Considering all this, the editorial success of the second edition of the Textbook of Diabetes seems even more spectacular. The reasons for this success are several. The ability of the editors and authors to present a comprehensive, concise, updated review of virtually all aspects of diabetes is a key factor... A second important reason for the success of this book lies in the presentation of the figures, illustrations, graphs and tables... The second edition of the Textbook of Diabetes appears seven years after the first edition, which was a great success. It is interesting to see that the editors were able to improve something that was already good.'
-New England Journal of Medicine, February 1998 (on the second edition)
'What makes Pickup and Williams different from its equally heavy competitors is the beautiful layout with exceptionally clear figures and generous use of colour photographs. The general standard of all the chapters is high and several are outstanding.'
-Journal of the Royal College of Physicians, September 1997 (on the second edition)
'Expanding the book has considerably improved it, and the new edition now constitutes a definitive text... It must now be the best large general text available on diabetes and I commend it highly to anyone with a career interest in clinical or academic diabetes, and to general endocrinologists who wish to keep in touch with developments in the field.'
-The Endocrinologist, July 1997 (on the second edition)
Pickup and Williams' Textbook of Diabetes has established itself as the definitive reference work in the field, providing lucid, comprehensive coverage of the subject with full colour illustrations and beautiful presentation. The focus of the book is very much clinical, but throughout the coverage of basic science is strong and pervades most clinical components of the book. The significant advances that have occurred in our understanding of the disease are reflected in this new edition.
A total of 74 chapters are organised into 20 sections covering the all issues relating to the clinical management of the disease, from the historical context, normal physiology, pathogenesis of diabetes, diabetes complications, the practicalities of living with diabetes, the organisation of care and future developments.
The chapter list has been revised and updated to further refine the coverage of the second edition. At least a third of the contributors are new and have provided a wealth of fresh material to the book. All the other chapters have been thoroughly rewritten.
