Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with loss of weight due to loss of glucose in the urine. Any form of treatment that substantially lowers blood sugar levels and thereby reduces loss of glucose in the urine, is likely to be associated with an increase in weight. This is simply due to the calories which were previously ‘wasted’, being absorbed; fat and muscle bulk is restored.

Nothing can compare with good blood sugar levels.
