Obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Jacqueline Cleator and John Wilding describe treatment strategies including diet, activity, pharmacotherapy and surgery. They argue that nurses need to gain a greater understanding of nutritional management and behavioural psychology in order to contribute effectively to treatment.
