Can diabetes be treated with weight loss alone?

Question

In some cases of course !

Answer 1

Those who lose weight will still need to maintain a regular exercise regimen and adhere to a proper and balanced diet, to prevent the rise in blood glucose levels and the incease in weight, so these are also treatment. And, as has been pointed out, diabetes is incurable, as type 1 destroys the insulin-producing cells, and type 2 the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Your body becomes resistant to the insulin it produces, and, eventually the sttress on teh pancreas causes it to produce insufficient amounts of insulin. Weight loss will not correct this. Weight loss can play a key role in treatment, but it alone cannot treat diabetes.

Answer 5

Well, diabetes, type 2 , can be controlled with diet and exercize. But, it does take dicipline to do this. And you have to stick with it. If you go off the regimen and gain weight back, then, the diabetes will come back. Type 1 diabetes usually doesn't respond as well. But, with Type 1 you would still have to controll your diet and exercize often to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If you are Type 1, you generally need insulin on a daily basis to control your blood sugars.

Answer 6

The AMA says there is no cure for diabetes, but they are the same ' unbiased experts' who say there is no cure for cancer, and make our citizens go out of the country for effective treatment. Just ask Suzanne Sommers, who had cancer till she received treatment in England. She is cured, now.

Yes, there absolutely IS a cure for type 2 diabetes, but it's not a magic pill. A person must have enough will power to change the things in his life that caused him to start being a diabetic in the first place.

Quoting Dr. Frank right here on Yahoo! Answers, " A group of doctors took some newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics, and, with their permission, put them through a VERY tough program of diet, weight loss and VERY vigorous exercise. They were very closely supervised, controlled and monitored. About 30% of them were able to bring their glucose tolerance tests back to normal, which did mean they were no longer technically diabetic." Hey, that's a diplomatic way of saying they were CURED.

Second, in WWII London, standard items like sugar and white bread, and extra cooking oil, and civilian gasoline were almost non-existent for several years, and Londoners ate basic foods and walked a lot, or rode bicycles. A strange thing happened--diabetes, which had been at epidemic proportions before the war, practically disappeared--until the war ended and people returned to their normal deitary and exercise habits--and, you guessed it--the diabetes reappeared. That's a true story, and that alone points to the real problem and solution.

Third, we have modern documentation reaffirming the proof of a cure for type 2 diabetes--watch this 8-minute, non-profit video trailer, and you can be convinced, too.

And last, if we are so wasted our bodies will not heal on their own, we have effective help to get well.
The book, "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313, outlines a simple plan to use herbs and minerals to retune our bodies and bring our metabolisms back to normal. Here are the main items he has researched, and that work--

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes, and when combined with the proper diet and exercise, can bring hope to almost all type 2 diabetics who will believe and work the program.

Best of luck.

Answer 7

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Answer 8

If its type 2, there is a chance you can control it with weight loss, it may require pills too. There is no such thing as borderline diabetes, you have it or you don't.

Answer 9

It is an auto-immune disease and (I) don't think weight alone loss can treat it, but it does help in certain circumstance.

It is basically your bodies immune system attacking the pancreas as if it were a foreign part of your body.

Do 45 minutes cardio workouts a few times a week
