When Lifestyle Interventions are Not Enough – The Spectrum of Comprehensive Methods for Long-Term Weight Loss in T2DM Patients

Lifestyle interventions form the basics of obesity management in T2DM patients, however, due to challenges with adherence or the underlying physiology of obesity as a disease, weight regain is common and long-term weight maintenance is challenging with this approach alone.  In this webinar, Dr. Eckel, Dr. Aronne, and Dr. Still discuss options beyond lifestyle interventions, including obesity pharmacotherapy and metabolic surgery, as well as their efficacy and safety.
