TL;DR: An intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on weight loss did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular events in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: The lifestyle intervention is delivered by a multidisciplinary team that includes medical staff who monitor participants at risk of hypoglycemic episodes and offers more intensive behavioral interventions and weight loss medication, designed to help participants with limited weight loss.

TL;DR: Greater self‐reported physical activity was the strongest correlate of weight loss, followed by treatment attendance and consumption of meal replacements, and the use of orlistat increased weight loss only marginally in those ILI participants who had lost <5% of initial weight during the first 6 months and chose to take the medication thereafter as a toolbox option.

TL;DR: Motivational interviewing can be a beneficial adjunct to behavioral obesity treatment for women with type 2 diabetes as discussed by the authors, although the benefits may not be sustained among African-American women, who appeared to have a diminished benefit from the addition of motivational interviewing.

TL;DR: To provide the specific weight loss outcomes for African‐American, Hispanic, and white men and women in the lifestyle and metformin treatment arms of the Diabetes Prevention Program by race‐gender group to facilitate researchers translating similar interventions to minority populations, as well as provide realistic weight loss expectations for clinicians.
