Management of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Doctors Traisman and Newcomb cover the usual subjects of the cause, diagnosis and treatment of juvenile diabetes, leaving about one-third of the text for a detailed description of diet therapy. The book is designed as a how-to-do-it guide, and should be judged accordingly. In these modest terms, it is a reasonably useful book. A few omissions, however, are worthy of note. For example: the four-page discussion of differential diagnosis omits postconvulsive and acute febrile glycosuria—two well-known though uncommon entities.
