Oxford Handbook of Diabetes Nursing (Oxford Handbooks in Nursing), 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Ms Nicola Milne, Ms Teffy Thomas

The Oxford Handbook of Diabetes Nursing has been fully reviewed and updated for its second edition. This practical pocket-sized guide provides contemporary, holistic, and evidence-based guidance to support high standards of care in diabetes. Written by experienced diabetes practitioners, it focuses on adult diabetes care across all settings, including primary, community, and inpatient care.

The handbook delivers practical advice in the easy-to-read, quick-reference Oxford Handbook format. New chapters address psychological issues in people living with diabetes, female health in diabetes, perioperative management, and technology for insulin delivery and glucose monitoring. Other chapters cover recent developments, such as type 2 diabetes prevention, remission of type 2 diabetes, cardio-renal protection, frailty assessment, and management of multiple long-term conditions. A comprehensive section on insulin includes guidance on types, devices, safety, and best practice techniques. Many chapters feature case studies to enhance learning.

Throughout, the handbook emphasizes the importance of individualized care, addressing health inequalities, and supporting underserved communities. As diabetes care increasingly relies on multi-disciplinary teams, this handbook remains a valuable resource, providing education, guidance, and practical signposting for all healthcare professionals.
