Having the Lifestyle Conversation about Type 2 Diabetes
WHY
Type 2 Diabetes is Potentially Reversible
Recent research shows that Type 2 diabetes can be reversed, and remission is possible through lifestyle changes that lead to significant weight loss.
Every clinical practice guideline worldwide recommends lifestyle changes as the initial and ongoing approach to treating Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Unfortunately, providing lifestyle counselling is often beyond the time, capacity, or capability of most primary care providers.
LifestyleRx
LifestyleRx offers an accessible lifestyle prescription for your patients that teaches them strategies for nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management to help them reverse type 2 diabetes.
