Medication and wieght question?!

Medication and wieght question?

I have been told by my doctor that I have pre-diabetes. We just switched from glipizide to Glyburde cause it gave me the shits...He also said that I need to lose a good amount of wieght, I am 5'9" at about 233lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way that can help me lose some wieght and control my sugar. I work out regularing (mostly cardio) to help me lose wieght and control my sugar levels? thanks

I have diabetes type 2 and have lost 15 pounds with my diet plan. First of all do not eat carbs or sugar. Whole grain bread is good, but only the 1 or 2 gram of carbs per slice. I buy Chompies cinnamon raisin bread, one gram of carb, no sugar, 5 grams of fiber and 50 calories per slice.

Have a sandwich with this bread and use 0 carb meat, egg salad, tuna. The bread fills you up (trust me) and I feel that the cinnamon helps me lose weight. You can also eat salad with 0 carb dressing. Make sure that anything that you buy and use does not have corn syrup or sucralose in it. The key is to not eat many carbs, maybe only 8 a day to get started.

You can also eat broccoli, tufu, bok choy, celery in a soup. Use chicken broth for the base. After many many years I finally figured out a plan to help me lose weight.

Do NOT buy the whold grain bread that has carbs in it as I tried it and I only gained from the carbs. I learned the hard way. You can also buy 0-gram carb bread online at www.vivalowcarb.com

Drink only diet pop. Remember low-carb is the way to go. Cut way back on meat and this will also help. In a way, follow the Atkins Diet for low-carb, but also try it my way. You can e-mail me if you have any questions. I lost weight without exercise because I have a bad back - so I know my plan works. Good luck.
