Diabetes has a lot to do with fat in the abdominals,fat surrounds on the liver and pancreas,and they turn to fat,losing fat from the liver and pancreas gets them talking again and working together and then the insulin production goes back to normal.So losing fat is a key factor in reversing diabetes.

Also when you have diabetes and your leg goes numb that neuropathy,the sugar in the blood affects the nerves and you lose feeling,it can come and go but eventually you can end up completely numb in the legs,getting your blood sugars down helps with this.
