  2. Diabesity • 21.7% of the patients referred to the service have diabetes. • Diet and lifestyle is the cornerstone of good diabetes management

  3. SIGN 116 Grade A recommendation: • Obese adults with Type 2 diabetes should be offered individualised interventions to encourage weight loss (including lifestyle, pharmacological or surgical interventions) in order to improve metabolic control.

  4. Becoming aware of the changes in blood and physical changes due to weight loss. Recognising the need for medication Encouraging patients to take control Recognising links between eating, weight and glucose control. Interacting with our team more intensively for up to 18 months. Interacting with others in the same situation. ‘Activity increase’ helps with glucose control.

  5. What are we doing to support patients with diabetes? • Patients asked to report their most recent results/medication to group leader. Encouraging self-efficacy of their diabetes care. • Conversation Map education sessions run by specialist dietitians. Well evaluated.

  6. Linking more closely with acute and community diabetes services: - liaising with GP’s over diabetes medications that may be affecting weight loss progress. - Consultant Diabetologists consulted prior to patients on insulin commencing the programme. - liaising with diabetes teams when patients are being considered for bariatric surgery.
