Weight Management in Adulthood


Weight Management in Adulthood

Some adults with CdLS are overweight and may be obese (49,59). Close attention should be paid to ensuring a healthy, low calorie diet and physical activity is encouraged (R22).

A very small number of adults with CdLS develop type 2 diabetes (2). Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes high sugar (glucose) levels in the blood, resulting in excessive thirst and tiredness. Individuals who are overweight have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
