A clinical score to predict dose reductions of antidiabetes medications with intentional weight loss: A retrospective cohort study
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 39, Issue 3
Abstract
We assessed the predictive accuracy of an empirically-derived score (weight loss, insulin resistance, and glycemic control: “WIG”) to predict patients who will be successful in reducing diabetes mellitus (DM) medication use with weight loss.
