Diabetes is an incredibly expensive disease, but most health insurance plans seem resigned to cover the more costly burden of diabetes rather than one of its leading causes: obesity. In this white paper, we discuss:

- The most effective treatments for obesity and overweight that lead to positive outcomes for diabetes as well
- What role health plans play in opening access to effective weight management treatment
