Review: This book provides a comprehensive review of both the clinical and the research aspects of obesity and diabetes that will be useful both to scientists and practising clinicians. It is in four parts. The first part gives the history and epidemiology of these conditions. Next comes the genetic and pathophysiology of obesity and diabetes, with a review of the known mechanisms and interactions. The third part discusses in detail the manifestations, diagnosis, and complications associated with diabetes. Lastly, a state-of-the-art approach to these conditions is described.
