does diabetes go away if you loose weight?

Question

and does the life span of a human get shorter if he or she has diabetes,

Answer 1

diabetes does not go away no matter how you treat it. If your blood pressure is really bad then you know you have to take more care of it and stop eating sugar and salt. If your blood pressure is not that bad and you are taking good care of it, then its okay to have a moderate amount of sugar and salt but not too much. Diabetes is a life long disease that cannot be curedd. If you are diabetic and you are loosing weight its not good unles you are eating goood and excersing. But if you are not eating right and you are excersing I would suggest you go see a doctor. To answer your second question a persons life span does not get shorter if they take good care of their health but if they dont take good care of their health and eat whatever they want then they are not in good health and they are gonna end up in hospital beds for the rest of their lifes and eventually die if the treatment doesent work.

hope it helpss!

Answer 4

I am a diabetic. I was very overweight. I have lost over 125 pounds now and have totally come off of insulin. My glucose readings came way, way down with the weight loss. Even though I am almost at goal weight, I still have diabetes. I still have to take Glucotrol twice a day, but look to come down to only one pill a day with even more weight loss. Then no pills, hopefully...but I will always be a diabetic.

As far as life expectancy...if your diabetes is not well-controlled, it will shorten your life span. I was recently told by my doctor that I now have an expected normal life span, since I caught my diabetes early and was treated early. I luckily have suffered no damage from the disease.

Hope this helps....

Answer 5

Diabetes and weight are not necessarily related. Many, if not most, over weight people do not have diabetes. There is also a high percentage of diabetics who are not overweight. There is a gene that increases the likelihood that a person will contract diabetes. Certainly, regardless of weight, eating right and getting regular exercise can do a lot to avoid or control diabetes.

Answer 6

Yes and yes.

Diabetes is sometimes a result of improper diet, more specifically obesity.

There are two types of diabetes, Type I and Type 2.

http://diabetes.about.com/od/whatisdiabetes/p/type1diabetes.htm

Type 1 completely unable to produce insulin

Type 2 can produce insulin, but their cells don't respond to it

Type I people usually develop the disease at young ages so they are burdened with insulin shots, and sometime pills or other treatments.

Type II usually is a result of age, and also diet and obesity. Your body still produces insulin, unlike Type I, it just does not use it like it should. In some case, when a person is/has been obese for an extended period of their lives, they evetually find that they are diabetic. In some cases, with medication, proper diet and weight loss, and determination, a person may get things back in order enough to not require the medications anymore.

Unfortunately this is not the case for every Type II diabetic out there.

In essence, most of us set ourselves up for Type II while we are young and stupid. We just enjoy life, disregarding what we may be doing in the long term. Alcohol, over eating, not exercising, drugs, inacitivty, etc...

When we get old it catches up to us, and we end up paying the price. I am a few years shy of 40, and now I am starting to pay attention to these things....I hope I am not too late!

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 8

Diabetes NEVER goes away. However, diet may be used to control it so you don't need to take insulin, and if the weight loss comes because of the right kind of diet, it will help. That said, if you lose weight by drinking vodka and eating whipped cream all day, your diabetes will get WORSE. The diet must below in carbohydrates and sweets. Consult your doctor.

Given advances in medical science, diabetes in unlikely to shorten the life span of the average person PROVIDED that it is diagnosed and controlled EARLY. Something else will probably kill you first.

I hope this helps.

Answer 9

No diabetes won't go away with weight lose
but with weight lose you are healthier so your body uses the sugars properly so you have a lower risk of nerve damage or eye problems etc
If you don`t manage your blood sugars then yes you will shorten your life span as it can cause organ damage mainly kidneys, liver but if you try and keep your blood sugars low then you should lead a normal healthy life span

Answer 10

Weight reduction and control is essential for diabetics. Reduced weight may be very beneficial for diabetics, however, it may not go away completely. But it may be much easier controllable with certain medication and sometimes herbal remedies. If you control your carbohydrate intake and, therefore, control your glucose levels, your life span should not be very much different from the one of a non-diabetic.
