Would you like to write an article for the journal?
If so, we want to hear from you

Please email submissions to manish@sbcommunicationsgroup.com and post one copy (with numbered pages) to The Diabetes and Primary Care Journal, SB Communications Group, Enterprise House, 1–2 Hatfields, London, SE1 9PG. If you have any queries, please contact Manish Utton-Mishra on 020 7627 1510.

Please include the article title, the full names of the authors and their institutional affiliations, as well as full details of each author's current appointment. This page should also have the name, address, fax number and contact telephone number(s) of the corresponding author.

Please supply four or five sentences of 15–20 words that summarise the major themes of the article. Please also provide four or five key words that highlight the content of the article.

In 60–120 words, this should aim to draw the reader into the article as well as broadly stating what the article is about.

Use headings liberally and apply formatting to differentiate between heading levels (you may have up to three heading levels). The conclusion should be succinct and logically ordered, ideally identifying gaps in present knowledge and implications for practice, as well as suggesting future initiatives.

Tables and figures – particularly photographs – are encouraged wherever appropriate. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text. Present tables at the end of the articles; supply figures as logically labelled separate files. If a figure or table has been published previously, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material.
