Abstrakt: Weight management is an important aspect of type 2 diabetes management; however, for many people with type 2 diabetes, discussions about weight are unwanted, unhelpful and/or stigmatising, making them counterproductive and potentially leading to disengagement from healthcare. In turn, many healthcare professionals avoid discussing weight owing to feelings of pessimism, hopelessness and frustration. In this commentary, the authors draw upon findings from the Your Story: Type 2 Diabetes and Weight Management study to propose five considerations to guide constructive weight management discussions with adults with type 2 diabetes.
