Diabetes study finds new weight-loss benefits

Diabetes study finds new weight-loss benefits: Heavy people with type 2 diabetes who lose a modest amount of weight and keep it off get many long-term health benefits such as reducing their risk of chronic kidney disease, depression and eye disease, according to the latest findings of a landmark study.

They also have better blood sugar control, improved quality of life and fewer hospitalizations, and they take less medication, thus reducing medical costs.
