Diabetes is rapidly becoming the scourge of the modern world. Currently, there are approximately 150 million people with diabetes worldwide, mainly type 2 diabetes. It is likely that as many as half of the cases have not yet been diagnosed and the numbers are likely to double over the next 25 years.

Five years have passed since the publication of the Second Edition of this authoritative, original work. Now the most complete and wide-ranging work on diabetes is being updated in a Third Edition. Encyclopaedic in scope, the International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus, covers all aspects of diabetes ensuring a truly multidisciplinary approach. Sections covered include epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, management and complications of diabetes and public health issues worldwide. It incorporates a vast amount of new data regarding the scientific understanding and clinical management of this disease, reflecting the substantial advances in the field.

The International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus, 3 ed will be launching online via Wiley Interscience in 2003, and publishing in print on 2004. Regular updates via Wiley Interscience will ensure that both professionals and students working within diabetes will be kept abreast of rapidly developing areas such as genetics, treatment and epidemiology.
