Practical Diabetes International concerns itself with all aspects of the worldwide clinical science and practice of diabetes medicine. The journal recognises the importance of each member of the healthcare team in the delivery of diabetes care, and reflects this diversity of professional interest in its editorial contents. The Editors welcome original papers, case reports, practice points, audit articles and letters on any aspect of clinical diabetes care from any part of the world. The journal also publishes commissioned leaders, review articles and educational and training series, for which an honorarium normally is paid. All articles submitted to Practical Diabetes International are independently peer reviewed. They must not have been published or be under submission currently elsewhere.

Enquiries from prospective authors are welcomed and the Editors will be pleased, if asked, to advise on preparation and submission of articles. Detailed Guidelines for Authors are published in the journal at least once a year and copies will be sent on request. All articles and enquiries should be directed to the Editors at the publishing address below. The journal is published eight times a year, and currently the average waiting time for acceptance of articles is eight weeks, and for subsequent publication sixteen weeks.

Practical Diabetes International is independent of any commercial or vested interest.
