Provider Virtual Training Course – 20 CME
Class Complete: Registration Closed
The Diabesity Institute offers a 3-day Virtual Training Course for providers, including family physicians, primary care providers, ARNP's, PA's, ND's, RD's, and other allied health professionals. This live virtual training series: Science-Based Clinical Evaluation and Treatment of Diabesity. Participants gain science-based knowledge to evaluate and manage metabolic dysfunction using current scientific understanding of neuroendocrine pathways. The course challenges traditional weight-centric approaches, focusing on metabolic health for sustainable disease prevention outcomes.
The AAFP has reviewed Science-Based Clinical Evaluation and Treatment of Diabesity and deemed it acceptable for up to 20.00 Live AAFP Prescribed credit(s). Term of Approval is from 11/07/2025 to 11/21/2025. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
AMA/AAFP Equivalency:
AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)™ toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed, not as Category 1.

Companion Training Manual 2025
Diabesity Institute presents this fully updated, expanded training manual with new sections for greater clinical applicability. This manual is useful as a standalone resource, or as a companion reference for Diabesity Institute's 3-day Virtual Training Course.
88% of current adult patients of all durations of treatment, all ages, and both genders with a starting BMI of 30+ have a lower BMI with treatment. Similar breakdown charts are available for multiple metabolic parameters, including HBA1C, HSCRP, LDL-P, ALT and pediatric data. See adjacent details for more information. Our de-identified clinic outcome data is available to anyone upon request. Peer comparison outcome data is readily available during each appointment.
DATABASE PROJECT and OUTCOME DATA AT SPM/CCM
SPM and CCM have collaborated with the Diabesity Institute to capture de-identified patient data. including labs and vitals. This robust long-term clinical data set enables research and scientific collaboration opportunities related to metabolic disease.
BMI in current adult patients with initial BMI>29: 88% with lower BMI than starting and 65% with >10% TBW decrease and 32% with >20% TBW decrease, increasing to 42.4% in patients with 10+ years of data
HBA1C in all current age patients with initial HBA1C>5.6: 85% with lower HBA1C, with mean decrease of 18%
MAP in current adult patients with initial stage 1 or 2 HTN: 84% with reduced MAP, mean 15% reduction
More detailed scatterplots can be provided.
If providers are interested in joining the database project, please reach out to Dr Cooper or Devyn McNicoll, data analyst. If you use an EMR it’s likely Devyn can help set up a similar data viewing and tracking program for your clinic.
