Addressing Type 2 Diabetes by Addressing Obesity

Osama Hamdy, MD, PhD

February 28, 2023

Osama Hamdy, MD, PhD, tracks the treatment of diabetes as it merges with approaches to managing obesity.

The standard use of insulin to treat diabetes, Dr Hamdy notes, was progressively challenged by more inclusive therapeutic modes developed in the treatment of obesity, specifically, a shift away from focusing on glycemic measures alone to a heightened interest in weight control.
