Hesitated a long time before purchasing this second hand book. It took a while to arrive, but when it did it was practically new. Impressive. Excellent book if you are interested in diabetes and how it affects the foot. It's written for Doctors, so is indepth. However, it covers all you need to know. Diabetes information changes all the time and although there's a new edition out (2007 I think) this edition has really helped in anchoring the fundamentals of diabetes and beyond. Excellent buy.
