WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Avoidance of weight gain should be an optimal target for most patients.
Overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes may find in fasting Ramadan a good opportunity to lose weight.
Weight reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes may result in significant improvement in blood glucose control and other cardiovascular risk factors.
A modest and gradual weight reduction of 0.5 –1 kg per week should be a realistic and optimal target.
