This document discusses diabetes, obesity, and body mass index (BMI). It defines the different types of diabetes and risk factors for diabetes testing. Guidelines are provided for diagnosing diabetes using A1c, fasting plasma glucose, and oral glucose tolerance tests. Prediabetes criteria and monitoring are outlined. Treatment targets and medication adjustments are reviewed. Obesity definitions based on BMI and waist circumference are presented along with disease risk levels associated with overweight and obesity.
