When the diabetic person loses 5% of excess body weight then he or she would have improved BP and cholesterol levels etc.
It has been found out that 60% of persons with type-1 diabetes and 85% of persons with type-2 diabetes have excess body weight or obese. The diabetic persons would be benefited when they shed their excess body weight. There are chances that a diabetic person would get cured of type-2 diabetes also if the person sheds excess weight. By losing weight, it would be possible to have more energy to do all the activities plus sleep would also be better.
Type-2 diabetes could be due to many reasons but being overweight is a prime reason for this issue. It must be noted that when a person is overweight then the body would need as much as 2 to 3 times as much insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels.

- Need for insulin therapy or other medications for diabetes etc would be reduced.
- Chances of getting other serious health issues such as heart diseases, kidney disease etc would be brought down.
- Reduced weight would mean that the person has less chances of getting affected by diabetes also.
