If a diabetic’s weight loss is caused by poor blood sugar control, it is a bad phenomenon. For scientific control of diet or appropriate physical exercise caused by thinning is a good phenomenon, can not be generalized.
The causes of weight loss in diabetic patients are complex. If the body consumes too much fat or protein due to poor glycemic control, it is a bad sign and requires prompt medical attention to rationally control blood glucose and reduce glucotoxicity.
Weight loss in diabetic patients (especially those who are overweight) is good if it occurs as a result of proper dietary control, reduction of sugar intake, and regular physical activity during the course of the disease and its treatment. Weight loss and fat loss in these patients can also have beneficial effects on glycemic control.
The use of hypoglycemic drugs such as metformin in diabetic patients may also lead to weight loss. Diabetics are also at high risk of developing tumors and should be screened regularly for tumor markers and other causes of wasting.
Diabetic patients after the symptoms of wasting, should promptly determine the specific cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to make adjustments.
