Research Notes on Weight and Diabetes
The increase in the number of people who have developed diabetes is directly related to the significant rise in weight gain.1 If you are diabetic, managing your weight is important to maintaining control over your blood sugar.2 Research has shown that people who lost excess weight following a diagnosis of diabetes, were more likely to control their blood sugar.3
Fast Facts:
- Excess weight and diabetes combined can increase your risk of developing heart disease.3
- Even if you regain lost weight, the benefits of losing weight will still remain.3
- Type 1 diabetes that has not been diagnosed can cause weight loss in some people.2
