The Joint British Diabetes Societies (JBDS) of which ABCD is an integral member, has informed us of the plans for Diabetic Medicine to devote the August issue to publish the in-patient guidelines and other important papers. This is to be welcomed and will make these very important guidelines to reach readers not only in UK but worldwide. I would like to thank all the members for their hard work and contribution to the development of these high quality guidelines, on behalf of ABCD.
