You need help with your weight from a team of specialists that provides integrated care for individuals with both problems; specialists in both diabetes and obesity management. Our team, including an endocrinologist, psychologist, dietitian, kinesiologist, and clinical nurse, has this unique combination of expertise.
Diabetes is strongly associated with obesity, and the onset of diabetes typically coincides with a significant weight gain. Treating diabetes without also treating obesity is not optimal. It has been demonstrated that a relatively small (7-10%) but sustained weight loss may prevent diabetes onset and reduce the risks from diabetes over time. Losing weight is certainly one of the best health investments an obese diabetic can make. Our first task in the Obesity & Diabetes program is to determine the best method for you to lose weight while maximizing diabetes control. Our specialized multidisciplinary evaluation includes a full physical workup, behavioural assessment, nutritional analysis, and body composition and fitness appraisal. From there we will proceed with the type of treatment that is best for you. Our goal is successful long-term management of weight and diabetes. |
