Diabetics lose weight as there is 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 is not used as energy, so the body starts burning fat and muscle for energy, resulting in weight loss
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a Apollo Women Wellness Package Test or Take a IgF- Bp3 ( Insulin Growth Factor - Binding Protein 3) Test
