	"text":"Overview The American Diabetes Association (ADA) “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes” includes the ADA’s current clinical practice recommendations and is intended to provide the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals and guidelines, and tools to evaluate quality of care. Members of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, a multidisciplinary expert committee (https:/​/​doi.org/​10.2337/​dc22-​SPPC), are responsible for updating the Standards of Care annually, or more frequently as warranted. For a detailed description of ADA standards, statements, and reports, as well as the evidence-​grading system for ADA’s clinical practice recommendations, please refer to the Standards of Care Introduction (https:/​/​doi.org/​10.2337/​dc22-​SINT). Readers who wish to comment on the Standards of Care are invited to do so at professional.diabetes.org/​SOC. There is strong and consistent evidence that obesity management can delay the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes (1-​5) and is highly beneficial in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (6-​17). In patients with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, modest weight loss improves glycemic control and reduces the need for glucose-​lowering medications (6-​8), and more intensive dietary energy restriction can substantially reduce A1C and fasting glucose and promote sustained diabetes remission through at least 2 years (10,18-​22). Metabolic surgery strongly improves glycemic control and often leads to remission of diabetes, improved quality of life, improved cardiovascular outcomes, and reduced mortality. The importance of addressing obesity is further heightened by numerous studies showing that both obesity and diabetes increase risk for more severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-​19) infections (23-​26). The goal of this section is to provide evidence-​based recommendations for obesity management, including behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical interventions, in patients with type 2 diabetes. This section focuses on obesity management in adults; further discussion on obesity in older individuals and children can be found in Section 13, “Older Adults” (https:/​/​doi.org/​10.2337/​dc22-​S013), and Section 14, “Children and Adolescents” (https:/​/​doi.org/​10.2337/​dc22-​S014), respectively. *A complete list of members of the American Diabetes Association Professional Practice Committee can be found at https:/​/​doi.org/​10.2337/​dc22-​SPPC.

	"text":"Overview A person-​centered communication style that uses inclusive and nonjudgmental language and active listening, elicits patient preferences and beliefs, and assesses potential barriers to care should be used to optimize patient health outcomes and health-​related quality of life. Use people-​first language (e.g., “person with obesity” rather than “obese person”) to avoid defining patients by their condition (27-​29). Height and weight should be measured and used to calculate BMI annually or more frequently when appropriate (19). BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters (kg/​m2), is calculated automatically by most electronic medical records. Use BMI to document weight status (overweight: BMI 25–29.9 kg/​m2; obesity class I: BMI 30–34.9 kg/​m2; obesity class II: BMI 35–39.9 kg/​m2; obesity class III: BMI ≥40 kg/​m2), but note that misclassification can occur, particularly in very muscular or frail individuals. In some groups, notably Asian and Asian American populations, the BMI cut points to define overweight and obesity are lower than in other populations due to differences in body composition and cardiometabolic risk (Table 8.1) (30,31). Clinical considerations, such as the presence of comorbid heart failure or unexplained weight change, may warrant more frequent weight measurement and evaluation (32,33). If weighing is questioned or refused, the practitioner should be mind-​ful of possible prior stigmatizing experiences and query for concerns, and the value of weight monitoring should be explained as a part of the medical evaluation process that helps to inform treatment decisions (34,35). Accommodations should be made to ensure privacy during weighing, particularly for those patients who report or exhibit a high level of weight-​related distress or dissatisfaction. Scales should be situated in a private area or room. Weight should be measured and reported nonjudgmentally. Care should be taken to regard a patient’s weight (and weight changes) and BMI as sensitive health information. In addition to weight and BMI, assessment of weight distribution (including propensity for central/​visceral adipose deposition) and weight gain pattern and trajectory can further inform risk stratification and treatment options (36). Providers should advise patients with overweight or obesity and those with increasing weight trajectories that, in general, higher BMIs increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and allcause mortality, as well as other adverse health and quality of life outcomes. Providers should assess readiness to engage in behavioral changes for weight loss and jointly determine behavioral and weight loss goals and patient-​appropriate intervention strategies (37). Strategies may include dietary changes, physical activity, behavioral counseling, pharmacologic therapy, medical devices, and metabolic surgery (Table 8.1). The latter three strategies may be considered for carefully selected patients as adjuncts to dietary changes, physical activity, and behavioral counseling. Table 8.1—Treatment options for overweight and obesity in type 2 diabetes   BMI category (kg/​​m2) Treatment 25.0–26.9 (or 23.0–24.9*) 27.0–29.9 (or 25.0–27.4*) ≥30.0 (or ≥27.5*) Diet, physical activity, and behavioral therapy † † † Pharmacotherapy   † † Metabolic surgery     † *Recommended cutpoints for Asian American individuals (expert opinion). †Treatment may be indicated for select motivated patients."

	"text":"Diet, Physical Activity & Behavioral Therapy Recommendations Recommendations 8.5 Diet, physical activity, and behavioral therapy to achieve and maintain ≥5% weight loss is recommended for most people with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. Additional weight loss usually results in further improvements in control of diabetes and cardiovascular risk. B 8.6 Such interventions should include a high frequency of counseling (≥16 sessions in 6 months) and focus on dietary changes, physical activity, and behavioral strategies to achieve a 500–750 kcal/​day energy deficit. A 8.7 An individual’s preferences, motivation, and life circumstances should be considered, along with medical status, when weight loss interventions are recommended. C 8.8 Behavioral changes that create an energy deficit, regardless of macronutrient composition, will result in weight loss. Dietary recommendations should be individualized to the patient’s preferences and nutritional needs. A 8.9 Evaluate systemic, structural, and socioeconomic factors that may impact dietary patterns and food choices, such as food insecurity and hunger, access to healthful food options, cultural circumstances, and social determinants of health. C 8.10 For those who achieve weight loss goals, long-​term (≥1 year) weight maintenance programs are recommended when available. Such programs should, at minimum, provide monthly contact and support, recommend ongoing monitoring of body weight (weekly or more frequently) and other selfmonitoring strategies, and encourage regular physical activity (200–300 min/​week).A 8.11 Short-​term dietary intervention using structured, very-​low-​calorie diets (800–1,000 kcal/​day) may be prescribed for carefully selected individuals by trained practitioners in medical settings with close monitoring. Long-​term, comprehensive weight maintenance strategies and counseling should be integrated to maintain weight loss. B 8.12 There is no clear evidence that dietary supplements are effective for weight loss. A Among patients with both type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity who have inadequate glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid control and/​or other obesityrelated medical conditions, modest and sustained weight loss improves glycemic control, blood pressure, and lipids and may reduce the need for medications to control these risk factors (6-​8,38). Greater weight loss may produce even greater benefits (20,21).

	"text":"Look AHEAD Trial Although the Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) trial did not show that the intensive lifestyle intervention reduced cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity (40), it did confirm the feasibility of achieving and maintaining long-​term weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes. In the intensive lifestyle intervention group, mean weight loss was 4.7% at 8 years (41). Approximately 50% of intensive lifestyle intervention participants lost and maintained ≥5% of their initial body weight, and 27% lost and maintained ≥10% of their initial body weight at 8 years (41). Participants assigned to the intensive lifestyle group required fewer glucose-​, blood pressure–, and lipid-​lowering medications than those randomly assigned to standard care. Secondary analyses of the Look AHEAD trial and other large cardiovascular outcome studies document additional benefits of weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes, including improvements in mobility, physical and sexual function, and healthrelated quality of life (32). Moreover, several subgroups had improved cardiovascular outcomes, including those who achieved >10% weight loss (42) and those with moderately or poorly controlled diabetes (A1C >6.8%) at baseline (43)."

	"text":"Behavioral Interventions Significant weight loss can be attained with lifestyle programs that achieve a 500–750 kcal/​day energy deficit, which in most cases is approximately 1,200–1,500 kcal/​day for women and 1,500–1,800 kcal/​day for men, adjusted for the individual’s baseline body weight. Clinical benefits typically begin upon achieving 3–5% weight loss (19,44), and the benefits of weight loss are progressive; more intensive weight loss goals (>5%, >7%, 15%, etc.) may be pursued if needed to achieve further health improvements and/​or if the patient is more motivated and more intensive goals can be feasibly and safely attained. Dietary interventions may differ by macronutrient goals and food choices as long as they create the necessary energy deficit to promote weight loss (19,45-​47). Use of meal replacement plans prescribed by trained practitioners, with close patient monitoring, can be beneficial. Within the intensive lifestyle intervention group of the Look AHEAD trial, for example, use of a partial meal replacement plan was associated with improvements in diet quality and weight loss (44). The diet choice should be based on the patient’s health status and preferences, including a determination of food availability and other cultural circumstances that could affect dietary patterns (48). Intensive behavioral interventions should include ≥16 sessions during the initial 6 months and focus on dietary changes, physical activity, and behavioral strategies to achieve an ~500–750 kcal/​ day energy deficit. Interventions should be provided by trained interventionists in either individual or group sessions (44). Assessing an individual’s motivation level, life circumstances, and willingness to implement behavioral changes to achieve weight loss should be considered along with medical status when weight loss interventions are recommended and initiated (37,49). Patients with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity who have lost weight should be offered long-​term (≥1 year) comprehensive weight loss maintenance programs that provide at least monthly contact with trained interventionists and focus on ongoing monitoring of body weight (weekly or more frequently) and/​ or other self-​monitoring strategies such as tracking intake, steps, etc.; continued focus on dietary and behavioral changes; and participation in high levels of physical activity (200–300 min/​week) (50). Some commercial and proprietary weight loss programs have shown promising weight loss results, though most lack evidence of effectiveness, many do not satisfy guideline recommendations, and some promote unscientific and possibly dangerous practices (51,52). When provided by trained practitioners in medical settings with ongoing monitoring, short-​term (generally up to 3 months) intensive dietary intervention may be prescribed for carefully selected patients, such as those requiring weight loss prior to surgery and those needing greater weight loss and glycemic improvements. When integrated with behavioral support and counseling, structured very-​low-​calorie diets, typically 800–1,000 kcal/​day utilizing high-​protein foods and meal replacement products, may increase the pace and/​or magnitude of initial weight loss and glycemic improvements compared with standard behavioral interventions (20,21). As weight regain is common, such interventions should include longterm, comprehensive weight maintenance strategies and counseling to maintain weight loss and behavioral changes (53,54). Despite widespread marketing and exorbitant claims, there is no clear evidence that dietary supplements (such as herbs and botanicals, high-​dose vitamins and minerals, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, etc.) are effective for obesity management or weight loss (55-​57). Several large systematic reviews show that most trials evaluating dietary supplements for weight loss are of low quality and at high risk for bias. High-​quality published studies show little or no weight loss benefits. In contrast, vitamin/​mineral (e.g., iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D) supplementation may be indicated in cases of documented deficiency, and protein supplements may be indicated as adjuncts to medically supervised weight loss regimens. Health disparities adversely affect people who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, disability, or other factors. Overwhelming research shows that these disparities may significantly affect health outcomes, including increasing the risk for obesity, diabetes, and diabetes-​related complications. Health care providers should evaluate systemic, structural, and socioeconomic factors that may impact food choices, access to healthful foods, and dietary patterns; behavioral patterns, such as neighborhood safety and availability of safe outdoor spaces for physical activity; environmental exposures; access to health care; social contexts; and, ultimately, diabetes risk and outcomes. For a detailed discussion of social determinants of health, refer to “Social Determinants of Health: A Scientific Review” (58)."

As numerous effective medications are available, when considering medication regimens health care providers should consider each medication’s effect on weight.

Nearly all FDAapproved medications for weight loss have been shown to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and delay progression to type 2 diabetes in patients at risk (22). Phentermine and other older adrenergic agents are indicated for short-​term (≤12 weeks) treatment (61). Five weight loss medications are FDA approved for long-​term use (>12 weeks) in adult patients with BMI ≥27 kg/​m2 with one or more obesity associated comorbid condition (e.g., type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and/​or dyslipidemia) who are motivated to lose weight (22). Medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of obesity, summarized in Table 8.2, include orlistat, phentermine/​topiramate ER, naltrexone/​bupropion ER, liraglutide 3 mg, and semaglutide 2.4 mg.

In principle, medications help improve adherence to dietary recommendations, in most cases by modulating appetite or satiety. Providers should be knowledgeable about the product label and balance the potential benefits of successful weight loss against the potential risks of the medication for each patient. These medications are contraindicated in women who are pregnant or actively trying to conceive and not recommended for use in women who are nursing.

Recently, an oral hydrogel (Plenity) has been approved for long-​term use in those with BMI >25 kg/​m2 to simulate the space-​occupying effect of implantable gastric balloons.

	"text":"Overview Surgical procedures for obesity treatment—often referred to interchangeably as bariatric surgery, weight loss surgery, metabolic surgery, or metabolic/​bariatric surgery—can promote significant and durable weight loss and improve type 2 diabetes. Given the magnitude and rapidity of improvement of hyperglycemia and glucose homeostasis, these procedures have been suggested as treatments for type 2 diabetes even in the absence of severe obesity and will be referred to here as “metabolic surgery.” A substantial body of evidence, including data from numerous large cohort studies and randomized controlled (nonblinded) clinical trials, demonstrates that metabolic surgery achieves superior glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity compared with nonsurgical intervention (17). In addition to improving glycemia, metabolic surgery reduces the incidence of microvascular disease (68), improves quality of life (69-​71), decreases cancer risk, and improves cardiovascular disease risk factors and longterm cardiovascular events (72-​83). Cohort studies that match surgical and nonsurgical subjects strongly suggest that metabolic surgery reduces all-​cause mortality (84,85). The overwhelming majority of procedures in the U.S. are vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-​en-​Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Both procedures result in an anatomically smaller stomach pouch and often robust changes in enteroendocrine hormones. In VSG, ~80% of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a long, thin sleeve-​shaped pouch. RYGB creates a much smaller stomach pouch (roughly the size of a “walnut”), which is then attached to the distal small intestine, thereby bypassing the duodenum and jejunum. (Fig. 8.1.) Several organizations recommend lowering the BMI criteria for metabolic surgery to 30 kg/​m2 (27.5 kg/​m2 for Asian Americans) for people with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved sufficient weight loss and improved comorbidities (including hyperglycemia) with reasonable nonsurgical treatments (86-​93). Studies have documented diabetes remission after 1–5 years in 30–63% of patients with RYGB (17,94). Most notably, the Surgical Treatment and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Efficiently (STAMPEDE) trial, which randomized 150 participants with uncontrolled diabetes to receive either metabolic surgery or medical treatment, found that 29% of those treated with RYGB and 23% treated with VSG achieved A1C of 6.0% or lower after 5 years (95). Available data suggest an erosion of diabetes remission over time (96); at least 35–50% of patients who initially achieve remission of diabetes eventually experience recurrence. Still, the median disease-​free period among such individuals following RYGB is 8.3 years (97,98), and the majority of those who undergo surgery maintain substan-​ tial improvement of glycemic control from baseline for at least 5–15 years (69,73,74,95,98-​101). Exceedingly few presurgical predictors of success have been identified, but younger age, shorter duration of diabetes (e.g., <8 years) (70), and lesser severity of diabetes (better glycemic control, nonuse of insulin) are associated with higher rates of diabetes remission (70,73,100,102). Greater baseline visceral fat area may also predict improved postoperative outcomes, especially among Asian American patients with type 2 diabetes, who typically have greater visceral fat compared with Caucasians (103). Although surgery has been shown to improve the metabolic profiles of patients with type 1 diabetes, larger and longer-​term studies are needed to determine the role of metabolic surgery in such patients (104). Whereas metabolic surgery has greater initial costs than nonsurgical obesity treatments, retrospective analyses and modeling studies suggest that surgery may be cost-​effective or even costsaving for individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, these results are largely dependent on assumptions about the long-​term effectiveness and safety of the procedures (105,106). Figure 8.1—A: Vertical sleeve gastrectomy.

	"text":"Potential Risks and Complications The safety of metabolic surgery has improved significantly with continued refinement of minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approaches, enhanced training and credentialing, and involvement of multidisciplinary teams. Perioperative mortality rates are typically 0.1–0.5%, similar to those of common abdominal procedures such as cholecystectomy or hysterectomy (107-​111). Major complications occur in 2–6% of those undergoing metabolic surgery, which compares favorably with the rates for other commonly performed elective operations (111). Postsurgical recovery times and morbidity have also dramatically declined. Minor complications and need for operative reintervention occur in up to 15% (107-​116). Empirical data suggest that proficiency of the operating surgeon and surgical team is an important factor for determining mortality, complications, reoperations, and readmissions (117). Accordingly, metabolic surgery should be performed in high-​volume centers with multidisciplinary teams experienced in the management of diabetes, obesity, and gastrointestinal surgery. Beyond the perioperative period, longer-​term risks include vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anemia, osteoporosis, dumping syndrome, and severe hypoglycemia (118). Nutritional and micronutrient deficiencies and related complications occur with variable frequency depending on the type of procedure and require routine monitoring of micronutrient and nutritional status and lifelong vitamin/​ nutritional supplementation (118). Dumping syndrome usually occurs shortly (10–30 min) after a meal and may present with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and fatigue; hypoglycemia is usually not present at the time of symptoms but in some cases may develop several hours later. Postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) can occur with RYGB, VSG, and other gastrointestinal procedures and may severely impact quality of life (119-​121). PBH is driven in part by altered gastric emptying of ingested nutrients, leading to rapid intestinal glucose absorption and excessive postprandial secretion of glucagonlike peptide 1 and other gastrointestinal peptides. As a result, overstimulation of insulin release and a sharp drop in plasma glucose occurs, most commonly 1–3 h after a high-​carbohydrate meal. Symptoms range from sweating, tremor, tachycardia, and increased hunger to impaired cognition, loss of consciousness, and seizures. In contrast to dumping syndrome, which often occurs soon after surgery and improves over time, PBH typically presents >1 year postsurgery. Diagnosis is primarily made by a thorough history; detailed records of food intake, physical activity, and symptom patterns; and exclusion of other potential causes (e.g., malnutrition, side effects of medications or supplements, dumping syndrome, insulinoma). Initial management includes patient education to facilitate reduced intake of rapidly digested carbohydrates while ensuring adequate intake of protein and healthy fats and vitamin/​nutrient supplements. When available, patients should be offered medical nutrition therapy with a dietitian experienced in PBH and use of continuous glucose monitoring (ideally real-​time continuous glucose monitoring, which can detect dropping glucose levels before severe hypoglycemia occurs), especially for those with hypoglycemia unawareness. Medication treatment, if needed, is primarily aimed at slowing carbohydrate absorption (e.g., acarbose) or reducing glucagon-​like peptide 1 and insulin secretion (e.g., diazoxide, octreotide) (122). People who undergo metabolic surgery may also be at increased risk for substance abuse, worsening or new-​onset depression and/​or anxiety disorders, and suicidal ideation (118,123-​128). Candidates for metabolic surgery should be assessed by a mental health professional with expertise in obesity management prior to consideration for surgery (129). Surgery should be postponed in patients with alcohol or substance use disorders, severe depression, suicidal ideation, or other significant mental health conditions until these conditions have been sufficiently addressed. Individuals with preoperative or new-​onset psychopathology should be assessed regularly following surgery to optimize mental health and postsurgical outcomes."
