Clinical Problems in Diabetes Care 10. Stanley: losing the will to live In this series a number of case histories in (imaginary) diabetic patients are presented. Many of the problems thrown up by the cases are common; some arise in hospital practice, others in the community. Each case history has been sent to colleagues who work in UK Diabetes Care Teams, who have written down their opinion as to what advice might be given or what action could be taken.Dr John Wales, Honorary Consultant Physician to the Diabetes Centre in the General Infirmary at Leeds, provides a short summarising commentary on the clinical problem and suggests advice and/or solutions. His opinions will hopefully balance the ideal world of diabetics patient care in the UK with the real world.
