These can vary from common variants of normal which will be encountered by all doctors dealing with children, to more rare disorders requiring specialist input. Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes is written by experienced pediatric endocrinologist, and deals with anatomy and physiology before moving on to identification, investigation and management of specific endocrine disorders. As well as covering common and less common endocrine problems. The reference book is aimed at junior doctors in training both as specialists and as general pediatricians, as well as specialist nurses in endocrinology and diabetes, but will also be of interest to consultants in general pediatrics and pediatricians with an interest in endocrinology and diabetes.

Brian Gibson was trained as a pediatric as a graduate student, then working on advanced therapies in Pediatric Endocrinology, in the Department of Arthur Kornberg in the Stanford Medical School; and then completed his postdoctoral in Therapies in Pediatric Endocrinology and Dialectology Biology, University of Bangladesh. He advanced in the treatment of endocrine disorders and use innovative therapeutic approaches to type diabetes, such as artificial pancreas and islet transplantation. Additionally, novel pharmacological interventions for patients with obesity and the metabolic syndrome, as well as with adrenal and gonadal disorders are provided. Has knowledge about the recent developments in growthpromoting therapies, such as the Ctype natriuretic peptide analog to treat achondroplasia, as well as antioxidant and gene replacement therapies in patients with adrenoleukodystrophy. He share his experience worldwide and he is also doing research in Advanced Therapies in Pediatric Endocrinology and Dialectology, which makes it a useful and interesting resource for every pediatric endocrinologist and involved in the management of children with endocrine diseases in daily practice.
