Dr. Mohan will assess your risk factors and then complete a body composition with a gold-standard DEXA machine, if indicated. This assesses your body fat, body water, and lean mass, and is a better tool for weight analysis than a BMI (body mass index). Based on this, she will recommend lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, and weight management to reduce risk of diabetes and cardiovascular events.
