Members of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, a multidisciplinary expert committee (https://doi.org/10 .2337/dc21-SPPC), are responsible for updating the Standards of Care annually, or more frequently as warranted. For a detailed description of ADA standards, statements, and reports, as well as the evidence-grading system for ADA’s clinical practice recommendations, please refer to the Standards of Care Introduction (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc21-SINT). Readers who wish to com- ment on the Standards of Care are invited to do so at professional.diabetes.org/ SOC. There is strong and consistent evidence that obesity management can delay the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes (1–5) and is highly beneficial in the 8. OBESITY MANAGEMENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES treatment of type 2 diabetes (6–17). In patients with type 2 diabetes who also have overweight or obesity, modest and sustained weight loss has been shown to improve glycemic control and reduce the need for glucose-lowering medications (6–8). Several studies have demonstrated that in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, more intensive dietary energy restriction with very-low-calorie diets can substantially reduce A1C and fasting glucose and promote sustained diabetes remission through at least 2 years (10,18–21). The goal of this section is to provide evidence-based recommendations for obesity management, including dietary, behavioral, pharma- cologic, and surgical interventions, in patients with type 2 diabetes. This section focuses on obesity management in adults. Further discussion on obesity in older individuals and children can be found in Section 12 “Older Adults” (https://doi.org/10 .2337/dc21-S012) and Section 13 “Children and Adolescents” (https://doi.org/10 .2337/dc21-S013), respectively.
