Studies have shown that appropriate interventions could prolong the maintenance time of body weight after weight loss to some extent (Mathus‐Vliegen et al., With the far‐reaching impact of the Internet era on health, more and more studies have begun to adopt the network intervention model. This study implemented a multidisciplinary collaborative weight loss management model. As shown in Tables The research population was mainly young and middle‐aged people, which could be explained by the online element, with which an older population might be less comfortable with. Still, it is also important as there is a shift in the age of diabetes onset towards a younger age and as a younger age at diagnosis will lead to a higher risk of poor outcomes due to the morbidity from the chronic complications of diabetes. Therefore, developing management strategies that specifically target younger patients is relevant.
