A plan has been plotted with our excellent practice nurse.👩‍⚕️ Waist to height ratio will now be an integral part of our General Practice T2D #CVRM review. ✅ Obesity is an independent condition within the #CVRM syndrome that deserves independent attention. Let’s get to work. 💪

@TheLancet session at #AHA24 starting now! #obesity 🫀Malnutrition was a problem but now obesity is taking over worldwide with few exceptions 🫀Severe obesity has also ⤴️ 🫀BMI doesn’t reflect obesity as well as waist-to-height ratio 🫀⤴️ diabetes follows obesity

An absolute honour & career highlight to give The Ulster Medical Society SirThomas & Lady Dixon lecture. #CVRM thought process will be a cornerstone of General Practice Long Term Condition Mx,but primordial prevention is where the most strategical power lies to protect the nxt generation.
