Summary

The proposed research will test a novel program that combines intensive weight management with shared (group) medical appointments for patients with diabetes. This research is important because diabetes is increasingly prevalent, it requires complex management by the provider and the patient, and weight loss is a critical component of its management. Adding weight management to shared medical appointments could potentially improve blood sugar control while reducing medications and their side effects such as low blood sugar.
