The safest rate of weight loss is 0.5 to 2 lbs a week.

If you have type 2 diabetes, your body becomes resistant to the insulin, not allowing the sugars to get into the body's cells. This results in a high blood pressure. With the over abundance of sugar in the bloodstream the cells aren't able to function properly. Over time, the high levels of glucose in the body causes much damage to the body, including: damage to the kidneys, heart, and the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Exercise reduces the risk of diabetes by causing the glucose in the body to move faster, which in turn lowers the level of blood sugar. The lower blood sugar levels allow the body to be more sensitive to insulin. Therefore, resulting in the absorption of glucose into the body's cells. Allowing the organs to operate fully and correctly.
