Style error: Diabetes and Diabetes Care

elmariachizo
In 2009 someone already pointed out that the style for Diabetes Care is wrong: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6672/diabetes-care-journal-style-is-incorrect/

It's still wrong, since it's simply applying Vancouver.
The same can be said for Diabetes, which is also using Vancouver.

Things wrong:
ALL authors should be displayed, no et al after 6 authors like Vancouver.
No month after the year and no issue, just volume and pages.
No Publisher and no dot after the journal's name.
Journal names are also not being abbreviated properly:
"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology" should be "Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol"

    which reference manager are you using?

    I'm using Zotero to export a .bib file and then Pandoc to convert Markdown into docx, pdf etc, using Zotero's CLS file. I have made some changes to the CLS which seem to work, but it's my first time doing this, so it may contain some errors.

    In any case neither Diabetes nor Diabetic Care use Vancouver as their citation style.
