Preventing diabetes: What overweight and obese adults with prediabetes in the United States report about their providers’ communication and attempted weight loss
In this cohort of individuals with overweight/obesity and prediabetic HbA1c values, low rates communications with providers about prediabetes and diabetes risk were reported. When both were discussed, patients reported greater attempted weight loss. These findings draw attention to the potential impact that provider communications about prediabetes and diabetes risk may have on lifestyle behavior change.
