Diabetes can cause weight fluctuations (both up and down), random fluctuations in energy levels, and cause your body to respond to things in ways you may not understand. For example, you may one day be losing weight without any effort and then another time, you may be doing everything right, yet still gaining weight; both situations can be confusing and, at times, frustrating.
This is a result of diabetes not just being a sugar issue. It triggers weight loss & body Metabolism the way how our bodies obtain energy, and as a result will cause other things in our body to change.

So even if you are eating a sufficient amount, your cells are not getting the energy they require. And when that happens, your body systems are brought to a stand still.

Your body has a rhythm. Let’s learn it, not leap into it.
With Type 2 Diabetes, things look very different.
Here, your body does produce insulin but it doesn’t respond to it properly.
This is called insulin resistance.
So now, instead of using glucose efficiently, your body starts storing more of it as fat.
