Combating Obesity and Diabetes at GBMC HealthCare

For many people, controlling weight gain is a daily struggle, but with learning and support, winning that battle gets a little easier. GBMC is combating diabetes and obesity by starting with education at our primary care practices.

Our team provides the resources and guidance patients need to live healthier lives. We offer individual counseling or group sessions to educate patients on how to manage their diabetes; from nutrition and meal planning to properly using medications. Our team works with individuals to coordinate a plan specific to their needs. It could be a radical diet change, and incorporating exercise into their daily routine. Or if surgery is the right choice, we can seamlessly connect patients to the needed resources.

Patients aren't just losing weight, they're gaining a ton of confidence. They're empowered and in control because of the support they receive. Intervention and education is what's going to keep our community healthy, out of the hospital, and at home with what matters most.
