Can diabetes cause weight loss?

From W8MD weight loss and sleep centers

Weight loss can be a symptom of diabetes, particularly in cases of uncontrolled blood sugar. When blood sugar levels are high, the body may begin to break down fat for energy, leading to weight loss. However, weight loss is not a typical symptom of well-managed diabetes. In fact, some people with diabetes may experience weight gain as a result of insulin therapy or other treatments.
