Medical Weight Loss Clinic helps patients regain health when diagnosed with Diabetes

November is National Diabetes Month, which helps spotlight a chronic disease that affects how the body uses blood sugar, or glucose. Our Medical Weight Loss Clinic expert staff understands the challenges related to a diabetes diagnosis, as well as ways to help patients avoid one.

Have you been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes? If your doctor advises losing weight for your health, we’re here to help.

“Unfortunately, we do see many patients who are either already diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or their doctor is concerned that they're headed in that direction,” says Cheryl Dietrich, manager of the Grosse Pointe Woods clinic.

Here, we have specific programs meant to help diabetics. New patients complete a health history that helps our staff understand and quickly identify this kind of need so we can address it together.

“To the potential patient who was recently diagnosed, your doctor very likely recommended for you to lose weight,” adds Cheryl. “Just know that our program is safe and effective.”

For those patients who are at risk or working to control a diabetes diagnosis, Cheryl mentioned three easy changes to make in our daily habits:

·      Start by eating whole foods.

·      Look at food labels. Check for amounts of carbohydrates and sugar in food.

·      And focus on movement. Any extra sugar in the blood can be reduced naturally with exercise.

For those seeking help, Medical Weight Loss Clinic’s personalized one-on-one approach provides a path to a healthier life.

“Having that approach makes our patients feel comfortable knowing they can ask us anything and will not be judged,” Cheryl says. “A diabetes diagnosis is certainly not something anyone wants to hear but it can be managed and reversed with hard work and dedication.”

Cheryl is familiar with the challenges of this disease for her patients and in her own family. She’s also a mother whose first child was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 6. He is now 23.

“My son will unfortunately always need insulin to stay alive whereas Type 2 can be reversed to a point where medication is no longer necessary,” she says. “Medical Weight Loss Clinic will help potential patients and current to get to the healthiest versions of themselves. Step one, call us!”

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
