Can insulin lead to weight loss for individuals with type 2 diabetes, even if they are overweight?
Insulin therapy in individuals with type 2 diabetes does not typically lead to weight loss on its own, especially for those who are overweight or obese. In fact, insulin is often associated with weight gain due to its role in promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, which can lead to increased fat storage. However, effective management of insulin therapy can indirectly support weight loss efforts through various mechanisms.Firstly, insulin therapy aims to regulate blood sugar levels, which can stabilize energy levels and reduce fatigue in individuals with diabetes. This stabilization can potentially increase physical activity levels, which is crucial for weight management."zone name","placement name","placement id","code (direct link)" direct-link-1685810,DirectLink_3,22508418,https://balloonsbuild.com/p1xeixxffe?key=39fb251404a4a7da289962358b69a81e direct-link-1685810,DirectLink_2,22495208,https://balloonsbuild.com/h2pwx7amy?key=a6d660f94d793
