About Nutrition And Diabetes
Product Description Diabetes occurs at such an alarming rate that it can be described as a global epidemic. Following its predecessor, Nutrition and Diabetes: Pathophysiology and Management, Second Edition, is a comprehensive resource that describes various factors that drive the accumulation of excess body weight and fat resulting in obesity. The book discusses the metabolic aberrations found in obesity and how they lead to the association of obesity with diabetes. This new edition highlights the role played by diet and the interrelationships in the metabolism of key nutrients in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes which provides the scientific basis for treatment and management approaches. Features Highlights the role of nutrition in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes Organized logically into two easy-to-use sections - Pathophysiology and Management of Obesity and Pathophysiology and Treatment of Diabetes Features emerging therapeutic approaches for management of obesity and diabetes Discusses experience in the management of obesity and diabetes in developing countries Presents challenges in insulin therapy and provides guidelines to overcome them The first section of the book retains key topics from the previous edition and contains new chapters including genetic determinants of nutrient processing; fat distribution and diabetes mellitus; combined effect of diet and physical activity in the management of obesity; pharmacologic treatment of obesity; and the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of obesity. The second section features updated versions of most of the other chapters in the first edition comprising a modified chapter on oxidative stress and the effects of dietary supplements on glycemic control in Type 2 diabetes. In addition, new chapters are added in this section and include the contribution of iron and transition metal micronutrients to diabetes; role of microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes; primary prevention of Type 2 diabetes; and the pathophysiology and management of Type 1 diabetes. Review Description This is the second edition of a comprehensive book on the research into the link between diabetes and obesity. Divided into two sections, it is an in-depth examination of the multiple factors that drive obesity and how those factors may be prevalent in the development of diabetes. This second edition also focuses on the role of diet in both populations and how nutrition may be linked to the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. Supporting research provides emerging treatment approaches and disease management therapies. The first edition was published almost a decade ago. Purpose The purpose is to provide a unique forum that highlights the link between obesity and diabetes. From the introduction, it is apparent that the authors are passionate about their knowledge and research in this area and how these disorders have come to be recognized as burdens to both individuals who have obesity or diabetes and to society in general. As the incidence of obesity rises, the incidence of type 2 diabetes is also rising. The purpose of this book is to better understand these diseases in order to better treat individuals afflicted with them. The authors' purpose is also to highlight the links between these two disease states; specifically, the underlying mechanisms of how each develops, the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment, and the underlying nutritional relationship to each of these diseases. Despite current efforts, the incidence of obesity and diabetes continues to rise, even among children. As more research has come out in the past decade on both topics, it has become imperative to begin treating these diseases in a different manner, first by understanding how they develop and, second, by understanding their connection to one another. The authors have brought together a wide array of professionals to write the 24 chapters on the relationship of diabet
