Summary

New clinical developments and very practical protocols and outlines for evaluation and treatment are the core of the Third Edition, which provides vital guidance for anyone who interacts clinically with endocrine patients, including endocrinologists, diabetologists, internists, fellows, house officers, medical students, and nurses. New topics covered include Syndrome X, type 2 diabetes in children, the molecular endocrine laboratory, new drugs for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the latest theories on atherogenesis, and the close relationship between insulin and heart disease. Emphasizes concise descriptions of evaluation, management, and treatment.
