About this episode
Welcome to Beyond the Numbers, a podcast series exploring the sensitive but important topic of weight bias. For people with type 2 diabetes, or T2D, and excess weight, their experiences with seeking care can often involve experiences of weight bias and weight stigma. In these episodes, we will discuss how these biases may impact a person’s treatment journey and even treatment outcomes. We will also discuss ways that healthcare professionals and people with T2D and excess weight can have more effective weight management conversations during clinical interactions. We will explore what may contribute to the challenging nature of these sensitive conversations, examine what the American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend about weight management conversations, and discuss best practices for navigating these conversations.
