Guideline for Preventing Weight Gain in Women at Midlife

By

Kristin Della Volpe

August 19, 2022

Panel recommends counseling all women aged 40 to 60 years on healthy eating and physical activity to maintain weight or prevent weight gain.

More strict control of blood glucose levels can, in some cases, prevent or delay the progression of DPN and may help improve symptoms. Generally, patients with diabetes who are aged 59 and younger and who have no other medical conditions should have a target blood glucose level between 80-120 mg/dL; patients aged 60 and older, or those with other medical conditions, should have a target blood glucose level between 100-140 mg/dL. Patients should be advised to maintain a regimen of physical activity and a healthy diet plan to help reach or maintain a healthy weight. Those who smoke should receive smoking cessation support, and patients should be encouraged to avoid alcohol or drink it in moderation.
