Modest weight loss (5%) in Type 2 Diabetes improves cardiovascular risk factors (lipids, glucose) but evidence for reducing actual cardiovascular mortality or events is mixed and inconclusive.
Losing 5% of your body weight if you are overweight with Type 2 Diabetes is highly recommended to improve your blood sugar, cholesterol, and overall heart health profile. However, do not assume this single change will eliminate your risk of heart attack or stroke; it works best when combined with blood pressure and glucose management.
there is blended proof as to whether or not weight reduction in those sufferers genuinely reduces next CV morbidity and mortality... the Look AHEAD trial did now no longer discover that weight reduction had any impact on CV mortality, MI, stroke, or angina hospitalization after 9.6 years of follow-up.
Why this rating
Based on large RCTs (Look AHEAD, SCOUT) with conflicting results on hard endpoints.
