How can Diabetes patient lose weight???

[Pinprinzz]

I suffers from diabetes but I'm just 22 years old. Now i can maintain my blood sugar since I always go to fitness
5-6 times a week. My blood sugar reduces from 15.7%(accumulate 3 month) to 5.6% but I still worry about my weight.
My weight was 48-49 kg but now it is 52-53 kg.I try to lose it but it's so difficult. Although I run on Air Walker at Fitness 60 mins every time I go and also biking 15 mins. It still be 52 kg.

Do you have any suggestion to lose my weight?

You dont say if your a T1 or T2 or if your on any meds. both of those will effect weight loss differently.

Nor do you say what you eat,  for diabetics its more about carbohydrates (since they raise BG).

Hi there!

For adequate blood sugar control it is advised to balance the calorie intake, with physical activity/ exercise along with appropriate medications for blood. Erratic calorie intake/ physical exercise without appropriate change in medication dose may result in erratic blood sugar levels. If the blood sugar levels are still not controlled with measures suggested, a review with your treating endocrinologist may be sought for suggestion of an appropriate management plan.
               If you are aiming at losing weight, it is important to calculate your current BMI and the target BMI. The target BMI should be in a healthy range. Aside indulging in moderate amounts of physical exercise it is also essential to maintain a healthy diet plan. A healthy diet should consist of adequate amounts of calories with carbohydrates, proteins, fat and plenty of fruits and vegetables to supply vitamins and minerals. Skipping any of the food components is not considered healthy. Also when aiming at losing weight the protein intake may be slightly increased and the carbohydrate intake slightly lowered. The calorie requirement should also be adjusted for one’s physical activities as well. Lower than adequate calorie intake can also cause weight gain, due to the stress hormones kicking in. Start with a healthy breakfast, moderate lunch and light dinner. Also keep a track of calorie intake and your work out. With gradual consistent efforts, you should be able to lose weight as desired in a healthy way.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
