My primary care doctor doesn't do anything, and the free Medicare program listed out here was shut down because the doctors said individual responsibility should be on the dime of the patients, not for a freebie program. They don't realize that metabolic disorders are managed like mental health issues are managed; but obesity itself - even if you're normal weight by managing it - is still not our fault, nor is being prediabetic or diabetic. We just have to take steps to manage it and reverse it, but the fact that we have these metabolic disorders would be there even if we ate healthy and starved ourselves. The number of adipocytes do not change, and it's the number of those that are concerning, along with predisposing factors.
