This groundbreaking book is meticulously crafted to cater to the diverse needs of healthcare professionals who specialize in the care of older individuals with diabetes, including specialist and general nurses, physicians, primary care practitioners, and dieticians.

Designed with a practical and up-to-date approach, this book employs an engaging and accessible narrative style to captivate readers. It encourages introspection and reflection, challenging readers to apply the information learned to their practice. By incorporating personal stories of individuals with diabetes and the experiences of the authors, the book makes the information more relatable, enhancing learning and the overall relevance and value of the content.

This book holds significance not only for healthcare professionals but also for advocacy organizations, managers, and service planners. It provides valuable insights and strategies for improving the quality of care for older people with diabetes. Researchers and scientists will find valuable information on grant and ethics applications, research protocols, plain language statements for potential participants, and operationalizing research protocols.

In summary, this exceptional book is a vital resource for all healthcare professionals dedicated to the well-being of older individuals with diabetes. Its comprehensive coverage, engaging narrative style, and practical insights make it an indispensable tool for advancing personalized care and improving the quality of life for this vulnerable population.
