Controlling diabetes has nothing to do with your weight or weight loss.....  |
10%! Why? Where did this come from? It's bad advice.
Weight has a great deal to with it - the more overweight you are, the harder your pancreas is working and the sooner it will pack up.
If you need to loose 25%, loose it. Don't stop at 10% - aim for something approximating to a normal BMI (not a perfect measure, but a useful guide).
Runnaway weight loss caused by uncontrolled diabetes is a different issue.
