"Perché limitarsi a gestire il diabete quando lo si può eliminare per sempre? ""Per prevenire e far regredire il diabete non servono i farmaci, ma un cambiamento radicale del nostro modo di mangiare"".Dottor Joel Fuhrman A differenza di quanto vi è stato detto finora, il diabete non è una malattia cronica. Non è una condanna destinata ad abbreviare l'aspettativa di vita o a causare ipertensione, cardiopatie, insufficienza renale, cecità o altre malattie potenzialmente mortali. In realtà, quasi tutti i diabetici possono sospendere l'assunzione dei farmaci e tornare sani al cento per cento solo adottando poche regole. In queste pagine il dottor Fuhrman, specialista qualificato in materia di nutrizione, ci rivela come possiamo prevenire e far regredire il diabete e le relative complicanze recuperando al tempo stesso il peso forma. La fine del diabete è un'idea radicale espressa in un programma estremamente semplice: mangiare meglio per sconfiggere il diabete. Con oltre 50 ricette, gli esempi di menu (colazione, pranzo e cena), le risposte alle domande più frequenti, i consigli per medici e pazienti questo libro ci dimostra, con un linguaggio coinvolgente, semplice e diretto, che diabete, cardiopatie e ipertensione non sono conseguenze inevitabili del processo di invecchiamento: sono reversibili e prevedibili con un'alimentazione sana.

Questo volume nasce dall'esperienza del team C.I.B.O. (Centro Interdisciplinare Bariatria e Obesità) di Monza, che fa del metodo integrato il proprio punto di forza nella cura dell'obesità. Il gruppo è infatti composto da dietista, endocrinologo, psicologo e chirurgo che lavorano in stretto coordinamento tra loro. Il libro, oltre all'analisi medico-scientifica della specifica patologia, fornisce indicazioni nutrizionali e dietologiche su una corretta alimentazione; piccoli trucchi e soluzioni mentali per superare i momenti di crisi compulsiva; descrizione dettagliata, ma semplice e senza tecnicismi, delle varie tipologie di interventi endoscopici e chirurgici disponibili attualmente, evidenziandone punti di forza e debolezza; guida alla sintomatologia post-operatoria, con conseguente alterazione dei gusti e delle abitudini alimentari. Il testo raccoglie anche alcune testimonianze emblematiche di pazienti che hanno condiviso il percorso diagnostico/terapeutico relativo alla risoluzione del problema obesità e delle malattie a esso correlate con il C.I.B.O. Il paziente diventa narratore protagonista: la ricerca del miglioramento personale, il coraggio del cambiamento, una nuova fisionomia, la riconquista della motilità perduta hanno effettivamente migliorato la sua salute, il suo stato d'animo e la coscienza di sé; inoltre, gli hanno consentito un reinserimento completo nella società e il riscatto sociale nelle dinamiche lavorative e personali.

L'8° Rapporto sull'obesità in Italia, curato dall'Istituto Auxologico Italiano, esplora ampiamente la relazione bidirezionale tra obesità e sonno, discutendone i meccanismi patogenetici e le scelte terapeutiche, fornendo particolari riferimenti anche alle differenze di genere e alle peculiarità del problema nelle diverse epoche della vita (dall'infanzia fino alla terza età). Completa il volume il consueto capitolo dedicato alla diffusione dell'obesità in Italia, anche in relazione ai disturbi del sonno, con dati aggiornati a cura dell'ISTAT.

Recognising a need to promote and enhance teaching of clinical endocrinology and diabetes in UK medical schools, the Society for Endocrinology, in collaboration with Diabetes UK and the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists, created a national curriculum that sets out the minimum recommended standards for undergraduate medical education. Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes at a Glance corresponds to the curriculum and covers all important areas of diabetes and endocrinology in a clinically relevant and concise manner, with complementary figures to ensure principles are explained clearly. It highlights key practical skills for undergraduates in line with the GMC recommendations that medical graduates should be well prepared for their Foundation posts. There is also emphasis on the importance of multidisciplinary teams in the management of endocrine diseases and diabetes. These include sections on structured education programmes, psychosocial aspects, and patient self-management and monitoring. Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes at a Glance will serve as a valuable resource for medical students and junior doctors treating patients with these conditions.
