Dilemmas in Diabetes

This volume contains the edited proceedings of the Totts Gap Colloquium on Diabetes Mellitus. The Colloquium, lasting two and a half days, was organized mainly as a dialogue among experts in the field with different disciplinary backgrounds and, to some extent, differing points of view. The effort was to synthesize existing knowledge, reconciling disparate data and interpretation, and pointing up important areas of ignorance. Thus, the book should serve not only as a summary of recent information on diabetes, but as a reliable guide to the practicing physician as he wades through often conflicting etiologic dogmas and therapeutic practices.
