Summary & Conclusions:
While the results observed were not physiologically unique, the
retrospective analysis of this self-pay multidisciplinary weight
management program demonstrates a cost-effective option for health care
groups to incorporate into primary care. The space utilized can be
clinic space that is free in evenings or weekends. Given the low cost
and part-time utilization of health care professionals in the program,
this program could be practically applied in ambulatory care settings to
treat with prediabetes and delay or prevent onset of T2DM.
