and Diabetes
Description
The twin epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continue
to affect an ever increasing number of children, adolescents, and young
adults. The objective of this book is to provide you with practical, compre-
hensive, and contemporary approaches to the pediatric patient at risk for
obesity, T2DM, and related conditions. This is the first guide to integrate
basic and clinical sciences for practical approaches to the obese or diabetic
pediatric patient. The chapters are sufficiently independent and concise that
you can rapidly identify tools for the problem at hand by skipping to a topic
of interest. To tailor this volume for a diverse audience of trainees, health-
care professionals, and policy makers, we have focused each chapter on a
key clinical issue or mechanism of disease, as outlined by Dr. Bendich on
her Series Editor Page.
