"Medicinal Foods as Potential Therapies for Type-2 Diabetes: The Chemical and Pharmacological Basis of their Action is the first book to focus on active pharmacological principles that modulate diabetes, associated risk factors, and complications and the mechanism of action of widely used anti-diabetic herbal plants, rather than the nutritional composition of the foods. It provides up-to-date information on the scientific basis of some acclaimed antidiabetic super fruits, species and other food ingredients. The global incidence of diabetes and its major risk factor, obesity, is growing with epidemic proportion, and so there is growing interest in finding new drugs from natural and synthetic sources to help halt this epidemic. The book is divided into six sections: the first part addresses fact and figures of diabetes and obesity at global level. In the second part, the physiological control of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism as well as some common therapeutic targets are presented. In section 3, the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes and therapeutic options are presented. A dedicated section on super fruits include the therapeutic potential of bilberry and blueberries, bitter melon, okra, prickly pear cactus and other fruits that gain importance as antidiabetic agents in recent years. In section 5, the chemistry and pharmacology of spices including cinnamon, cloves, fenugreek, garlic, ginger and turmeric are presented to outline their antidiabetic potential. The last section includes beverages such as tea, coffee and yerba mate as well as a dedicated chapter on food supplements and other food products with emerging antidiabetic potential. Medicinal Foods as Potential Therapies for Type-2 Diabetes: The Chemical and Pharmacological Basis of their Action is invaluable research scientists and students in medical and pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry, herbal medicine, drug discovery/development, nutrition science as well as herbal practitioners, industries from the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical areas, and organizations dealing with diabetes and obesity managements"--

Diagnosing and managing type 2 diabetes constitutes a tremendous challenge to the primary care provider confronting a rapidly growing patient population and a multiplicity of new scientific insights and therapeutic strategies. In Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome: The Primary Care Guide to Diagnosis and Management, Ronald A. Codario, MD-a well-known and highly respected authority on diabetes in private practice for over 30 years-details for today's busy primary care practitioners the state-of-the-art in diagnosing and managing diabetes as well as in reducing patient risk factors. Using an evidence-based approach, Dr. Codario explains, in simple clinical terms that avoid the complexity of much larger textbooks, our latest understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes, its treatment with insulin and oral agents, and the management of its risk factors. The author also extensively reviews such major topics as the metabolic syndrome, the role of exercise and nutrition, and the key issues associated with the use of herbs and nutraceuticals. Illustrative case studies in diabetes management, an outstanding bibliography of suggested readings, and extensive chapter subheadings for quick reference make this book a practical, easy-to-read guide for physicians dealing with this killer disease. A value-added compact disk contains a companion e-book version of the book for downloading and use in the reader's PC or PDA. Also included are continuing medical education (CME) questions that provide the opportunity to acquire up to a maximum of 10 AMA/PRA category 1 CME credits. For the past 15 years, the author has given CME lectures on diabetes throughout the country. State of the art and highly practical, Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome: The Primary Care Guide to Diagnosis and Management offers practitioners an authoritative, well-honed approach to the successful management of their diabetic patients.
