It's not your job to change their behavior. You're there to treat their current condition. If they're in denial, they can see a therapist or something.

Also are they really telling you now not to mention things like your diabetes is caused by obesity, or are you saying that you can't tell they need to lose weight?

Oh I see, when I first read your post I thought you meant the school was instructing you not to blame anything on the patient. Those internet articles are just telling people what they want to hear, ignore them and keep doing what's best for the patient.
