Multidisciplinary/multipronged strategies are necessary to achieve effective weight loss for T2DM control.
A comprehensive approach involving multiple strategies is essential for effective weight management in T2DM patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
This article aims to provide an overview of multidisciplinary/multipronged strategies (lifestyle interventions, patient-centred approach with preferential use of glucose-lowering medications of weight neutral/weight loss effect, consideration of pharmacotherapy for weight loss and metabolic surgery) to achieve effective weight loss for T2DM control.
Why this rating
The claim is based on a comprehensive overview of strategies supported by evidence.
