Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called the BMI-CDS (Weight Loss Wizard) in 40 primary care clinics. The tool gives doctors and patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity personalized estimates of the benefits and risks of treatments like weight-loss surgery or medication. Over 10,000 adults are taking part to see if the tool leads to more referrals, prescriptions, and better weight loss over 18 months.
