## What is Diabetes Complications?

Diabetes Complications is a fast, offline clinical reference covering the acute and chronic complications of diabetes — overview and management — for qualified healthcare professionals and students.

Written and developed by Dr Atif Elnil, MBBS MRCP (Neurology & Stroke Fellow, St George's Hospital, London). Content is aligned to UK (NICE, SIGN, JBDS) and US (ADA) guidance, with differences flagged where they matter.
