Revised Australian Obesity Management Algorithm

The Australian Diabetes Society (ADS) is proud to announce the release of an updated position statement for obesity management, The Australian Obesity Management Algorithm: A simple tool to guide the management of obesity in primary care. The paper has been accepted and published online by the journal of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice.

The obesity management algorithm was updated in conjunction with the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS), Australian & New Zealand Metabolic and Obesity Surgery Society (ANZMOSS) and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).

New & Improved Treatment Website

The ADS is also thrilled to announce the launch of a new treatment website in light of the release and publication of the updated obesity management algorithm – the type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment website has recently been revamped to include obesity treatment too. The new treatment website features updated T2D case studies and an interactive obesity treatment algorithm designed to assist clinicians in treatment options for Australian adults living with obesity and its co-morbidities.

NOTE: the pre-existing T2D treatment website link remains functional and automatically redirects to the new treatment website if used.
