Infos

Type 2 diabetes, associated with obesity, is today the most common
form of diabetes. It is also associated with a number of
other cardiovascular risk factors which constitute the metabolic
syndrome. Effective management of 'diabesity' is
crucial to the reduction of morbidity and premature morbidity due
to cardiovascular disease.

Part of the successful 'Diabetes in Practice'
series, Obesity and Diabetes Second Edition focuses on the
link between diabetes and obesity, two of the most pressing health
problems in the developed world. It covers topics ranging
from the changing epidemiology of type 2 diabetes to an analysis of
the principal causes of the metabolic syndrome.

* Includes new chapters on obesity management in ethnic
minorities and obesity issues in the workplace

* Features many suggestions of practical value

* Describes a contemporary approach to the clinical assessment of
obesity and its management in both primary and secondary care
settings

* Covers emerging problems such as childhood
"diabesity" and the impact of obesity on polycystic
ovary syndrome

* All chapters have been updated

Obesity and Diabetes Second Edition addresses the
management of obesity and diabetes in practical terms useful to
clinicians with an interest in diabetes, both in primary and
secondary care, general practitioners, paediatricians,
endocrinologists and nutritionists, as well as to students and
researchers interested in obesity.
