How To Lose Weight if You Have Diabetes
- Medically reviewed by Soma Mandal, MD Losing weight can be an important part of managing diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body processes glucose (sugar). Your body either doesn't produce enough insulin (a hormone that helps your body use glucose for energy) or can't use insulin effectively.
The article from MSN discusses effective weight loss strategies for individuals with diabetes, emphasizing the importance of managing weight to control blood sugar levels and reduce diabetes-related complications. Key points include adopting a balanced diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods and sugars. It highlights the significance of portion control and mindful eating to prevent overeating. Regular physical activity is recommended, with suggestions for both aerobic exercises like walking or swimming, and strength training to improve insulin sensitivity. The article also touches on the potential benefits of newer diabetes medications that aid in weight loss, like GLP-1 receptor agonists, but stresses that these should be part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Additionally, it advises on the importance of hydration, stress management, and adequate sleep, all of which can influence weight and diabetes management. Lastly, the article encourages seeking support from healthcare providers or joining support groups to maintain motivation and address any challenges in the weight loss journey.
