George Alberti

Sir Kurt George Matthew Mayer Alberti, (born 27 September 1937) is a British doctor. His long-standing special interest is diabetes mellitus, in connection with which he has published many research papers and served on many national and international committees. In the 1970s, Alberti published recommendations for the management of diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious metabolic emergency which affects people suffering from severe insulin deficiency. This 'Alberti regime' rationalised the use of insulin and fluid therapy in this condition to the undoubted benefit of many patients.
Alberti served as National Clinical Director for Emergency Access from September 2002 to March 2009. He has been Professor and Dean of Medicine at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and President of the Royal College of Physicians.
Alberti drove controversial changes to emergency care in the UK, leading to some hospitals losing their status as emergency care centres.
Personal life.
Alberti first married in 1964 and had three sons with his first wife. In 1998, he married Stephanie Amiel.
