One of the first pieces of advice that people suffering from diabetes are given is to lose weight

A healthy BMI and healthy weight can help a great deal in controlling diabetes

However, weight loss is a little more tough for people suffering from diabetes

A meal rich in carbohydrates can lead to a spike in the blood sugar level

Insulin is secreted by the pancreas to help get glucose out of the blood and into the cells where it can be used to produce energy

Their body becomes resistant to the action of insulin and thus insulin is not as effective at moving the glucose out of the blood

Therefore, one ends up with a blood sugar spike in their blood after eating carbohydrates

To reduce the high blood glucose, the body makes more insulin

Thus, it becomes difficult for diabetics to lose weight

Carb rich meals lead to a blood sugar spike followed by a drop, which variation stimulates frequent hunger

A hungry person eats more, which results in weight gain

Insulin helps store fat and thus taking insulin for treating diabetes can also cause some weight gain

Some diabetes and oral medications work by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, which can lead to weight gain too

The best way to decrease blood sugar levels is by decreasing carbohydrate consumption
