From the reviews: "This book surveys gender differences in both pathology and clinical features in order to make their impact upon the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic women clear. ... Not only internal medicine specialists, endocrinologists, obstetricians and gynecologists for whom the book was designed but also generalists will find valuable guidance ... . sociologists and politicians also need to understand the book's unique penetration into the problems of poverty and underdeveloped nations."
