A member asked:

How long does someones blood sugar need to be high to start losing weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it is about 180: Or so you will begin to lose glucose in your urine, but that's a very poor and dangerous way to lose weight. You could get your sugar normal and still lose weight by diet, exercise and medication. See your doctor.
