There is a world-wide epidemic on obesity. This epidemic is driving
the immense proportions of Type 2 diabetes across the globe. While
there are numerous therapies for treating Type 2 diabetes, the most
effective therapy is prevention. Prevention of Type 2 diabetes can
be achieved properly by simultaneous prevention of obesity.
Prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome, is the period between simple
obesity and diabetes, and this critical period needs to be
identified in a more consistent and systematic manner by clinicians
worldwide. Clinical trials have indicated that diabetes prevention
can be achieved by lifestyle changes and also by certain
medications, though none are yet approved for use in prevention. On
the other hand, there are funding agencies such as the NIH, CDC,
and State Institutions that are interested in studying the
prevention paradigms in different communities and ethnic minorities
who are most prone to this epidemic. For these reasons, this title
by renowned physician-scientist Derek LeRoith is both timely and
vitally important for academic physicians, practitioners, allied
health care providers, analysts, community activists, and all
others interested in this increasing epidemic. This book provides a
unique and comprehensive synthesis of the prevention and early
diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes, focusing on identifying risk factors
and then moving into topics that address how to prevent their
progression to full-blown diabetes. The difficult task of changing
patients' behavior is given special emphasis. The chapters in this
practical volume are written by a wide range of international
experts, reflecting the editor's distinguished, internationally
renowned career. The volume is organized in eight sections: an
introduction to the overall issue of prevention, definitions of
values based on ADA guidelines, pathophysiology, discussion of a
range of interventional trials regarding prevention, and an
overview of state-of-the-art clinical management approaches.
Comprehensive and timely, Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes: From
Science to Therapy is an essential reference for those treating and
researching Type 2 Diabetes.
