<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Through its study of British diabetes care, this book asks how such a shift occurred, how systems of management were constructed, and what this says about diabetes care and modern medicine.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Managing diabetes, managing medicine</em> examines the emergence of managed medicine in Britain. Through its study of diabetes care in the twentieth century, this book offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. <br /> <br /> Whereas much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different - even conflicting - motives, doctors and nurses, national professional and patient bodies, British government agencies, and influential international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems in Britain; all working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change. By focusing on changes within the management of a single disease at the forefront of broader developments, <em>Managing diabetes, managing medicine</em> is able to tie together British developments across a number of sites at different scales of change, from the very local innovations of single towns to the debates of specialists and professional leaders at international levels.<br /> <br /> Drawing on a broad range of archival materials, published journals and textbooks, newspapers and oral histories, this book develops fresh insights into the history of managed healthcare, the NHS, and post-war government more broadly. Providing an important window onto crucial features of modern British medicine and society, it will be of interest to scholars and students across a range of historical, sociological and political scientific disciplines.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><i>Managing diabetes, managing medicine</i> examines the emergence of managed medicine in Britain.

The first historical monograph to examine how diabetes became the subject of state-managed care, this well-researched book offers fresh perspectives on the history of medicine and is an excellent contribution to historiography. Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates and above.' H. Caldwell, Chestnut Hill College, <i>Choice Connect</i>, Vol. 57, No. 2, October 2019 'Managing Diabetes is an essential contribution to the history of medicine in Britain and will undoubtedly be of interest to both students and scholars of history, politics, medicine, and health pol-icy. Moore provides a fascinating history both of the NHS and the post-war management of chronic disease... Moore's account is well-documented and engaging, and this particular history of diabetes is both compelling and imperative. Its insight con-tributes significant understanding of the rise of surveillance medicine, and the resulting responsibility and expectations placed on both patients and their practitioners evident today.'
