Is there a risk for diabetics to loose weight fast?

I don’t mean crash diet, please read. A friend of mine has an appointment to be tested for diabetes, and she would like to start eating better beforehand, and exercise too. She’s afraid to continue on the way she is and make it worse.
The thing is, she can loose weight pretty quick, even by eating the proper amount of foods (i.e. she wouldnt be starving herself) but, is it bad for diabetics to loose weight fast like that? Neither one of us know much about it. Thanks. Hm, I like both answers. Thank you. 🙂

Type 1 diabetic needs help deciding what to drink

Okay I’m type 1 diabetic and keeping my sugar regulated is not the issue, I don’t have a sweet tooth and I can avoid eating sugary/carb loaded foods.
My problem is what to drink. I love soda but I need to follow a diabetic diet. The only diet I can stomach is Coca cola Zero and even that gets old. I like unsweetened ice tea, so two drinks out of a million I like, (water is good too) but I need more variety can anyone suggest something other than diet coke,  sprite,rootbeer, Dr Pepper, no diet sodas please
