Type 2 diabetes is a largely preventable chronic condition that impacts more than 37 million people in the US. Another 96 million people have prediabetes, yet most don’t know they have it. These numbers will continue to rise without sweeping changes to our modern culture and lifestyle habits. The good news is that the medical subspeciality and approach of lifestyle medicine is growing and provides physician leadership and hope in this area.

Join us on June 1 at 11:30 am ET for a live and interactive webinar exploring the three most common treatment options for patients living with type 2 diabetes:

1. Medication and medical treatments
2. Weight-loss surgery
3. Intense lifestyle change

Learn more about how providers and health systems can help patients invest in their own health through lifestyle change and the tools that clinical teams can use to unlock the patient’s individual experience living with chronic disease. Using this information, clinical teams can devise targeted lifestyle and health interventions that put patients on a path to lifelong health.
