This book contains the reviews delivered at the Bayer Centenary Symposium held in Edinburg in May 1988. Experts in the field reported on recent developments in the pathophysiology and therapy of diabetes mellitus. Thus an up-to-date overview of diabetes mellitus research presented to a small group of specialists is now available to a broader community of endocrinologists, physicians and internists.
