DENVER, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --The American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP) today released a set of weight-loss tips that are effective for improving and reversing type 2 diabetes.
Tips for Sustainable Weight Loss When Suffering from Type 2 Diabetes
"The key in sustaining weight loss is to identify the right solution for each patient," said Ed J. Hendricks, M.D., of The Center for Weight Management in Roseville, Calif., an obesity medicine specialist with a large obesity treatment practice that includes many overweight diabetics. "There is a large spectrum of choices, from self-help programs to medical therapy to surgery. However, the obesity medicine physician is a patient's best resource in mapping out an effective, comprehensive plan for the individual."
The preceding tips were taken from the ASBP Overweight and Obesity Evaluation Management Guidelines. Obesity is a lifelong problem, and there are several tools for weight loss. Patients are encouraged to partner with physicians who have the expertise to guide them through what treatment plans will be most effective given their individual medical histories and conditions.
Founded in 1950, ASBP (www.asbp.org) is the oldest medical association dedicated to the non-surgical treatment of obesity and associated diseases. ASBP is a collaborative organization that provides its members practical information and business tools to implement a successful medical bariatric practice.
