The comments recommend weight loss and exercise as the means for avoiding and treating diabetes, but such erroneous advice fails to acknowledge such weight loss cannot occur until and unless the glucose, higher insulin levels, and resultant metabolic syndrome and diabetes responsible for making it virtually impossible to lose most of the additional weight no matter how much exercise and restricted caloric intakes is attempted.

That has not been my experience. My morning blood glucose levels had been in the 180 range and in the evening, around 140. I lost 30 lb., and as I shed the weight, my blood glucose levels dropped almost proportionately. I now test around 115 in the morning and 100 in the evening.

That was a generalized statement. There are a variety of confounding factors which can obscure what is going on. For example, was this while you were on or off of the diabetic medication/s?
