With this clear objective in view, the book offers a complete guide on the ways and means to go about it. Beginning from the structure and functions of different organs of the digestive system, the types of diabetes, its causes and symptoms, it goes on to explain in detail the complications it can cause, the diagnosis and tests involved in detection, the calorie-reckoner of different food items and the recommended diet for different types of patients.
