Abstract
Weight management is pivotal and complicated in the comprehensive management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In clinical practice, T2DM combined with overweight or obesity is more common, but simply using body mass index as evaluating indicator of obesity is not comprehensive and objective. Therefore, the dynamic changes of body composition especially visceral fat should be evaluated for the purpose of reducing fat and increasing muscle; Meanwhile, avoiding the weight fluctuation during weight loss can contribute to long term target of body weight.
Key words:
Diabetes mellitus, type 2; Body weight fluctuation; Visceral fat; Sarcopenia; Malnutrition
