A member asked:

If i lose the weight will i be able to get off high blood pressure and diabetes medications ja?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: You have a good incentive to lose weight, however the weight loss does not work for everybody. Some people are able to reduce or even get off of medications. The important thing is to create a healthy habit of living that allows you to lose weight and keep it off. You may be able to reduce or even get off but it is not guaranteed.
