Is Weight Loss a Good Primary Goal?

Do you think weight loss is a good primary goal and something patient should focus on, or do you think it's more about improving blood sugar and weight loss will follow? Do you counsel patients one way or the other, about about monitoring their weight? How important is weight loss? You know, i don't focus as much on weight loss because i am. It's because i think i need to learn more about how to address weigt loss with patience.
