Frequently Asked Questions
How does weight loss affect blood sugar levels?
Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity, helping your body use glucose more effectively. Even a 5-10% reduction in body weight can significantly lower blood sugar levels and reduce diabetes risk.
Why do I experience weight loss when my blood sugar is high?
High blood sugar causes your kidneys to excrete excess glucose in urine, leading to fluid loss and calorie loss. This can result in unintended weight loss, especially in undiagnosed diabetes.
Can weight loss help me control my diabetes without medication?
Yes, losing weight can improve blood sugar control significantly. Combined with healthy eating and exercise, weight loss may reduce or eliminate the need for diabetes medications in some patients.
