Goodfellow Unit Webinar: Weight loss, what really works?

Additional Resources: https://www.goodfellowunit.org/node/3... Dr Carl Peters, specialist endocrinologist and diabetologist will discuss obesity and weight management, with a particular focus on diabetes remission and prevention. Over one million adults are now considered obese in New Zealand with rates of obesity considerably higher in Maori and Pacific. Obesity has a strong relationship with insulin resistance and diabetes, which causes significant morbidity and mortality in communities. Sustained weight loss has the potential to delay disease onset or induce remission (for those diagnosed within 6 years) thereby reducing burden of disease. This webinar will review three main themes: -Strategies for maximising weight loss. -The current role of medications in weight loss. -The role of weight loss in the remission of type 2 diabetes. Carl will focus on the evidence for weight loss for diabetes prevention and remission, and report on the 2-year results of the DiRECT study (diabetes remission in primary care) utilising VLCD (very low calorie diet).
