Weight Loss Counseling A healthy weight is key to diabetes management whether a patient has Type 1 or Type 2. For example, a 10% reduction in weight can greatly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 and help a Type 1 patient’s body better use injected insulin. The bottom-line in either case is better blood sugar control. During weight loss counseling, we review a patient’s current food intake and discuss ways to decrease it. The counseling is tailored to a patient’s unique interests and food preferences. To make the weight loss a success, a patient develops his own measurable goal regarding food choices. |
