Type II Diabetes Management

With the medications now available to treat diabetes, complications can become rarer and infrequent. The doctors at West McKinney Health & Wellness are confident that through the addition of significant and sustainable weight loss you will require less medicine, and this is the only way to put your diabetes into remission. Indeed just 20 pounds of weight loss can result in less medication, improved glucose control, lower blood pressure and more energy. In addition to the A1C and glucose levels, we measure insulin levels, adiponectin levels and insulin resistance, and you will see how each improves with time and proper treatment.

We strongly believe the initial choice of treatment for diabetes should NOT result in an increase in body weight; therefore we focus on proven treatments that lower weight in the process. If you are on insulin for Type II or Adult Onset diabetes and want to see if you can get off insulin, we will work with you. If you are on a sulfonylurea like Glipizide or glyburide and cannot lose weight, we will help you. If your current treatment is not working and you want to try something bold and new and safe, we will try with you. If your diabetes treatment needs a fresh start and a new hopeful outlook that may end with no medications and an improved waist size, come and see us.
