This presentation will highlight an interdisciplinary approach to managing patients with diabetes and obesity. We will explore basic pathophysiology that contributes to both disease states, then transition into an overview of our clinic model. This will include an overview of key team members, key responsibilities in managing diabesity, general timelines, and patient pathways. We will then present patient case examples that highlight our interdisciplinary approach and treatment decisions made along the way. We will wrap up by addressing barriers to care and audience questions.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Summarize guideline-based recommendations for managing a patient with diabetes and obesity.
Identify resources needed to implement an interdisciplinary model for managing diabetes and obesity.
Apply guideline recommendations to real world patient cases.
