Weight loss is the fourth cornerstone of our multi-disciplinary approach to diabetes management.
Nobody chooses to be a diabetic, with all of the complications and restrictions it puts on your life. Between the worrying about how your numbers are and the constant checking, it’s a wonder you find the time to enjoy life.
It doesn’t have to be like that. Whether you have Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes or are a Brittle Diabetic, we can help you. Managing your caloric intake and your weight on a medically supervised diet can put you back in control of your life. Quite often they show that our patients can then reduce or eliminate their medication. Imagine that!
It’s not just about losing weight or looking slimmer, it’s about enhancing your quality of life. You want your life back, you want reduce the dose or perhaps discontinue your medication, you want your cholesterol levels to drop, you want to protect against heart disease, you want to have more energy, you need relief from joint pain; you want to fit into your clothes and not stress about what you can wear the next day.
Imagine the new you: someone who feels good in their own skin, is confident about them self and knows they look good. Life is simpler and better!
When you enroll in our Medical Weight Loss program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the provider, based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every visit with your weight loss provider, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
