Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome: The Primary Care Guide to Diagnosis and Management is an important addition to the literature for primary care phy- cians. It covers concisely and with attention to clinical relevance the full spectrum of insulin resistance and diabetes. This book gives a practical, no-nonsense approach to understanding the basic pathophysiology of diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, an approach to treatment with oral agents and insulin, and an approach to risk factor management. By putting all this information in one readable text, Dr. Codario provides a service to us all, facilitating the understanding of a body of knowledge that cannot be obtained through any attempt to read portions of much larger textbooks in the field. This textbook will serve as a resource for medical students, residents in family medicine and internal medicine, and attending physicians who wish to update and improve their kno- edge in the field of diabetes and the newly emerging science of the metabolic syndrome. In addition, it allows attending physicians the opportunity to obtain Continuing Medical E- cation credits while performing self-directed learning. At the end of reading Type 2 Dia- tes, Pre-Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome: The Primary Care Guide to Diagnosis and Management, the physician should feel comfortable and confident that they have acquired a solid understanding of the latest information in the field, and by so doing, should be better able to take excellent care of patients with diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This book provides a foundation for understanding and treating patients with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and the complications associated with these disorders. ... This would be most useful as a reference for medical students, residents, and primary care physicians. This second edition is an improvement upon the first edition, including as it does new medications and details of treatment of special populations such as pregnant patients, mental health patients, geriatric patients, AIDS patients, and dialysis patients." (Colleen Flynn, Doody's Review Service, February, 2011)
"The book presents somewhat unusual, but very practical and progressive form of presentation. ... some approaches to reduce the risk in diabetic patients (glycemic and lipid control, thrombosis prevention etc.) and problems of diabetes in special populations (children, women, geriatric patients, postoperative patients) are also treated witha great care. In the front of each chapter appears a very helpful overview of individual sections and, at the end there is also a very helpful list of supplementary reading." (Endocrine Regulations, June, 2011)
"This is the second edition of a comprehensive text on diabetes and associated syndromes. ... The tables on mechanisms of action of oral agents, insulin preparations and timing, and lipoprotein abnormalities and therapeutic choices are exceedingly useful. Important clinical trials of glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure management in diabetes are comprehensively covered. ... Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome may appeal to a variety of health professionals who care for persons with these disorders." (John A. Colwell, Journal of the American Medical Association, July, 2011)
