Description
Summary:Differentials Obesity Grade 1: A condition with a BMI of 30.0 to 34.9 kg/m2 is classified as obesity grade 1, which puts the individual at a moderately increased risk for various diseases, such as bone and joint problems, shortness of breath, restless sleep and/or breathing difficulties, liver disease, gallbladder disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, heart disease, and depression (Golden, Schneider, & Wood, 2016). Diagnostic tests are imperative for prompt and effective treatment. [...]laboratory diagnostic blood tests should include a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 6.5%, fasting glucose greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL, random glucose greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL, 2-hour and a plasma glucose greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL. According to obesity guidelines, at least 5% to 10% weight loss has significant benefits, such as glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood pressure reductions (Garvey et al., 2016). [...]the implementation of an intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) plan is recommended.
