How Diabetes Causes Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  2. Glucose Wasting<\/strong> \u2013 Excess sugar builds up in the blood but can\u2019t enter the cells for energy.<\/li>\n
  3. Fat and Muscle Breakdown<\/strong> \u2013 The body starts burning fat and muscle to meet energy demands.<\/li>\n
  4. Frequent Urination<\/strong> \u2013 High sugar levels lead to dehydration and calorie loss through urine.<\/li>\n
