I lost 30 lbs-- went from 225 to 195. This scared me to death. Finally went to doc. Dx as type 2.
Went on meds and started gaining some of the weight back-- which I wanted to do. I'm 6'2" and just felt a little thin.
If you're overweight, lose 10%. If you're not overweight, don't worry about it. My doc told me I'd already lost mine....
Controlling diabetes has nothing to do with your weight or weight loss.....

but it is important to exercise one way or the other. Exercise helps your body produce insulin.
Some meds will cause you to gain weight so it can become a battle. Just takes your meds, watch your diet, and exercise. If you do this, hopefully the weight issue will take care of itself.
