Struggling to manage your diabetes?
You’re not alone and our team is here to help in a personalised and comprehensive way. Did you know that around 90% of individuals with Type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese? The connection between weight and diabetes is well-established, with weight loss playing a crucial role in improving blood glucose control. However, we understand that individuals with Type 2 diabetes face unique challenges on their weight loss journey.
At The London Obesity Clinic, we offer a specialised plan designed to prevent and control weight-related Type 2 Diabetes, which we affectionately refer to as “Diabesity.”
Why is it challenging for people with Type 2 diabetes to lose weight?
There are several factors at play, including medications, altered metabolism, changes in hunger patterns, low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), emotional eating, and associated medical conditions. The intricacies of managing weight become even more complex for individuals with Type 2 diabetes, often requiring adjustments in medication doses and vigilant blood glucose monitoring.
We recognise that trying to lose weight while managing diabetes can be difficult. People may struggle to cut down on food intake due to altered hunger patterns or concerns about triggering low blood glucose levels.
If you feel your Type 2 diabetes is not under control and you are looking to shed excess weight, we’re here for you.
Do you want to stop your reliance on diabetes medications?
Whether you’re dealing with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, being overweight or obese can pose challenges in controlling blood sugar levels. Research indicates that individuals with diabetes find it more challenging to lose weight compared to those without diabetes.
Our diabesity specialists are ready to guide you through a structured plan focused on weight loss and improved diabetes management. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, followed by a 3-month Diabesity plan. Throughout this journey, you’ll receive both offline and online support. At the end of the 3-months, you’ll have the option to join a maintenance plan for continued support.
In this plan, we aim to help you:
- Prevent Type 2 diabetes if you have prediabetes
- Reduce complications related to Diabetes
- Achieve good blood glucose control
- Reduce and maintain a healthy weight
