Abstract
Obesity is now recognised as a disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. One of the most common metabolic complications of obesity is type 2 diabetes, because the two disease share similar pathophysiology. Weight loss is known to ameliorate the metabolic abnormalities underlying type 2 diabetes and improve glycemic control. A 15% or greater total body weight loss (TBWL) in patients with type 2 diabetes will have a disease-modifying effect, a result that is incomparable with other hypoglycemic-lowering interventions. Moreover, in patients with diabetes and obesity, weight loss exerts benefits beyond glycemic control and improves cardiometabolic disease risk factors and well-being. We review evidence supporting the role of intentional weight loss in managing type 2 diabetes. We suggest that many people with type 2 diabetes would benefit from an additional weight-based approach to managing their diabetes. Therefore, we proposed a weight-based treatment goal for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
期刊介绍：
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
