Abstract

To examine the interface between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus we examined data from the 2005 U.S. National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS). Our findings indicate a significant proportion of U.S. ambulatory patients with DM present with obesity and greater clinical acuity than patients with DM alone.
