Losing weight dramatically helps you gain control of your sugar

Hop on that scale. At least that is what one study has found. Losing weight soon after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes increases your chance at better sugar control and even better… you will be more likely to maintain that control. This also proved to be true for those that regained some of their weight.

Is it because there is an increased sensitivity to insulin? Or is it that just dropping body weight is enough?

Have you had success with dropping pounds?  I work at it all the time… it is tough.
