Lifestyle change is universally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease, yet, the majority of clinical practice, educational programs, and clinical trials within these chronic disease spaces focus on medication use and procedures, with insufficient emphasis on lifestyle medicine. The concept of lifestyle medicine can serve as a countermeasure, acting through aspects of personal choice, natural and built environments, cultural traditions, and socioeconomic influences that affect the metabolic health of an individual. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Cardiometabolic Disease provides clinical evidence for and a mechanistic understanding of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. It guides the reader to identify opportunities for early intervention rather than focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the established disease. Interventions at earlier points have the potential to mitigate progression, prevent complications, reduce costs, and improve a patient's overall health at all points in their lifetime. Key Features Provides mechanistic, epidemiological, and clinical understanding of all pillars of lifestyle medicine Presents information on mechanisms for lifestyle medicine in cardiometabolic disease Features a unique model that includes recognition of predisease and even pre-predisease with rationale for intervention Promotes evidence-based recommendations for all stages of cardiometabolic disease This volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series is an essential resource for clinicians and students, providing them with information to help them to prevent complications, reduce costs, and improve a patient's overall health at all points in their lifetime.

La mayoría de los médicos, dietistas e incluso especialistas en diabetes consideran que la diabetes tipo 2 es una enfermedad crónica y progresiva: una condena para toda la vida. Pero esta creencia no es más que una gran mentira, lo cual supone una excelente noticia para cualquiera a quien le hayan diagnosticado esta enfermedad. La innovadora idea que presenta el Dr. Fung es que la diabetes es causada por la respuesta insulínica del cuerpo a un consumo excesivo y habitual de carbohidratos, y que la mejor forma, y la más natural, de revertir la enfermedad es sencillamente reducir este consumo, ¡el cuerpo no puede con tanta glucosa! El código de la diabetes explica, en un lenguaje claro y ameno, por qué los tratamientos convencionales que dependen de la insulina, así como otros medicamentos para reducir la glucosa en sangre, pueden llegar a empeorar el problema, provocar un aumento de peso significativo e incluso una enfermedad cardíaca. Como dice el nefrólogo Jason Fung, la única forma de tratar la diabetes tipo 2 de manera efectiva es la dieta adecuada y el ayuno intermitente, no la medicación.

Over 29 million Americans have diabetes. Of those millions of people, the majority take at least one medication to treat their diabetes, but also take additional medications or supplements for other conditions. With this complex array of medications across such a broad and diverse population, potential contraindications are a real possibility. Diabetes Risks from Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs surveys the medication landscape and provides brief yet illuminating information on the potential effects any medication may have on people currently treating diabetes or whether any particular medication may increase the risk that someone will develop diabetes.Designed with the busy clinician in mind, Dr. Dagogo-Jack provides succinct descriptions of the drugs that may interact with diabetes medications or increase the risk of developing diabetes. He includes information from the latest clinical studies and the most recent literature to present a comprehensive, authoritative text on an elusive and troubling clinical conundrum.

This important reference, edited by Ronald Ross Watson and Betsy Dokken, collects the research needed to make the distinct connection between pre-diabetes, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Glucose Intake and Utilization in Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes: Implications for Cardiovascular Disease explains the mechanisms of progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes to cardiovascular disease. Since pre-diabetes and diabetes are important cardiovascular disease risk factors, and impaired glucose metabolism among cardiac patients is extremely prevalent, the importance of reviewing pre-diabetes and its involvement in CVD complications is vital as one applies food and glycemic control to slow progress to diabetes and heart disease. The book further focuses on glucose intake and utilization in diabetes, including coverage of diabetes in the development and pathology of cardiovascular disease, risks and epidemiology of cardiovascular problems promoted by diabetes, macrovascular effects and their safety in therapy of diabetics, beta cell biology and therapy of diabetes, and nutrition to modulate diabetes. - Offers a complete review of cardiac health problems occurring with significant frequency in patients relative to their ability to regulate glucose - Presents coverage of the role of glucose utilization, development of pre-diabetes and the ultimate development of various cardiovascular diseases - Provides thorough dietary, nutrition, complementary and alternative botanical therapies for pre-diabetes and diabetes to halt the progression to cardiovascular disease
