How much weight can you loose due to diabetes?

Weight loss is a common symptom of diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes. People with diabetes may lose weight because their bodies are not able to properly use the glucose (sugar) in their blood for energy. This can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which can cause rapid weight loss, dehydration, and other serious health problems. Weight loss in people with diabetes should be discussed with a doctor to determine the cause and the best course of treatment.
