How do diabetics loose weight?!

You've got some good advice already!. But I wanted to add a couple of important points!.

First of all, many newly diagnosed diabetics struggle with their weight because their relationship with food suddenly changes!. Instead of eating when you're hungry, suddenly you're afraid of dropping too low if you don't eat!. Also, when you do have low blood sugar episodes, you MUST eat!. These factors often combine to add some weight!. Also, prior to diagnosis, many diabetics lose weight because their body is forced to burn fat and muscle just to survive!. So some weight gain is natural as your body returns to being able to process glucose!.

But now to losing weight!. The basic formula is the same for diabetics and non-diabetics!. You have to burn more calories than you consume!. This can be a little tricky when you have diabetes!. But by eating a diet mostly of fresh vegetables and lean proteins (chicken breast, turkey breast, and fish) you will have a good foundation!. Then when you're going to exercise, try to eat a blend of a few carbs (for energy) with a little bit of fat and protein!. The fat and protein will help your blood sugars to not drop too low during exercise!.

Keep a journal of what you eat and how much you exercise!. That will help you see exactly where you can make adjustments to turn things around!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your doctor will tell you if you should lose weight to manage your diabetes!. If it turns out you don't need to lose weight, you can still help your health by eating good-for-you foods and getting a lot of walk!.


All you need to do is to eat a little less and be more active!.

You need to keep your blood sugar levels on track, and extreme diets can mess them up!. Also, never skip insulin injections to lose weight
