resistance

activity, and behavior modification
– Weight loss medications may be considered and can
help with an additional 5-10% weight loss with
lifestyle modifications
– Bariatric surgery

dietary and physical activity pattern

content consistent with respect to time and amount
– Adjust insulin for planned exercise. For unplanned
exercise, extra carbohydrate may be needed

glycemia, dyslipidemia, and blood pressure
– Reduce caloric intake, saturated and trans fats,
cholesterol, and sodium
– Increase fiber, nutrient-rich foods
– Increase energy expenditure
Special Considerations
• Pregnancy

provide appropriate weight gain for mother and fetus
– Focus on food choices for a healthy and steady
weight gain, glycemic control, and absence of
ketones
– Aim to develop healthy habits and lifestyle
modifications (diet and exercise) for after delivery
