This book provides extensive coverage of this extremely common side-effect of treatment in diabetes, and the single most important limiting factor to achieving good glycaemic control especially with insulin users. This book also examines areas such as pathophysiology, frequency and morbidity of hypoglycaemia, causes, risk factors, treatment, special syndromes associated with hypoglycaemia, special groups, such as children and diabetic pregnancy, and effects on lifestyle. It goes on to discuss both risk factors and treatment regimes, while concentrating on the clinical and practical aspects of hypoglycaemia, and examines symptoms in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Ther are also examples based on actual case histories, accompanied by practical illustrations to strengthen understanding.
