Study: Small weight loss can put diabetes into remission

British researchers have good news for people with Type 2 diabetes -- you don't need to lose a ton of weight to make a difference in your health.

In fact, they found that losing just 10 percent of your body weight during the first five years you have the disease can lead to remission of Type 2 diabetes. That weight loss would be 18 pounds for someone who weighs 180 pounds.
