Why diabetes make you lose weight?

Answer # 1 #

Since there's no insulin available to move glucose into the body's cells, glucose builds up in the bloodstream. The kidneys then work to remove this unused sugar through urination. The sugar isn't used as energy, so the body starts burning fat and muscle for energy, resulting in weight loss.
