Occasionally a diabetic patient will complain about weight loss. The question is why do diabetics lose weight. In this video, Dr. Ergin will go into detail about the causes of weight loss including insulin deficiency and medications for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients. In people with diabetes, insufficient insulin prevents the body from getting glucose from the blood into the body's cells to use as energy.
When this occurs, the body starts burning fat and muscle for energy, causing a reduction in overall body weight.
For more information and understanding more about unintentional weight loss during uncontrolled diabetes continue to watch this video.
Medications such as GLP-1 agonist, SGLT2 inhibitors and Metformin can also lead to weight loss.
