Why Losing Weight Is Beneficial for Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

Excess weight, especially around the waistline, can lead to insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. This resistance disrupts the regulation of blood sugar levels, contributing to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes.

The good news is that weight loss has the potential to reverse these effects. By shedding those extra pounds, you can enhance insulin sensitivity and restore your body's ability to utilize glucose effectively. In fact, research has shown that even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10% can lead to substantial improvements in blood sugar control.
