I lost almost 30 pounds before I started treatment. The doctor told me that it's because the nurishment you get from your food/sugars passes right through you...thus the need to drink a lot and always having to urinate. I didn't realize it was happening until my clothes got loose. It is the silver lining to Diabetes if there is one. But once you get your diabetes controlled, you have to lose weight the "old fashioned" way.

Diabetes can cause unhealthy weight loss if untreated. The body can't get enough energy from the blood, so it starts breaking down muscle and other tissues to try to get energy.
