Question 1

how to lose weight with type one diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: The best way is like with any other condition, diet and exercise. Specially the exercise on the regular basis with help decrease the Insulin dose and by doing that you will have less appetite, eating less and requiring less insulin, like a vicious cycle.

Question 2

what is a good way for someone who has diabetes to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

The same: as anyone else -- eating less and exercising more. You have to burn off 3,500 calories to lose a pound. Try cutting out 250 calories a day to lost a pound every two weeks. It's not how fast your lose, but you need to learn to eat properly to not only lose the weight but keep it off the rest of your life. Good luck.

Question 3

what is the best way for someone who has type one diabetes to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

It's the same: as for anyone else, eat less and exercise more to burn up more calories than you take in. Insulin administration will make this more difficult, and you might want to discuss with your doctor a gradual reduction in insulin dose as weight loss proceeds, but make sure glucose control remains appropriate.

Question 4

what are some good exercises for someone who has diabetes to lose weight on?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: .How long have you had type 2 diabetes and how much weight have you gained?
There are many good exercises and if there is a facility close to you, take a look and decide whether that is a good place for you to work out.
Your diet may also need attention. Go to "NuVal" on the web and find out a lot of information about which foods are good, not too bad, and no good for you.

Accepted Answer

Eat less/exercise: The more one eats, the more Insulin is needed to control blood sugar. Exercise helps increase sensitivity to Insulin so that less is needed to maintain good control also.  Combining healthy eating and exercise is the safest and best way to obtain and maintain a healthy weight.

Question 8

can you please explain how and why with type 2 diabetes lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Loss of sugar&water: Even though most people with type 2 diabetes are obese or overweight, but people who present with diabetes are passing lots of urine and sugar in their urine which may make them loose weight.But once they are started on oral meds like tzds and sulphonyl ureas and Insulin will make most people gain weight which is a complication of the treatment and not desirable.

Question 9

can you tell me if i developed type 2 diabetes, will it stay with i even if i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes and Weight: Sometimes, if you are newly diagnosed with Diabetes, or have had it under good control, and you are a type II Diabetic, Diabetes can be controlled through diet and exercise.  You never 'Get Rid' of the disease-you are simply controlling it naturally.  In my experience, though, the disease will eventually go out of control, and you will need to take medication to control the blood glucose.

Question 10

how can i lose weight in a way that will also get rid of pre-diabetes symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Diet/exercise: A healthy well-balanced diet, 3 meals without snacks. Caloric restriction if you need to lose weight. There's no magic here. Find an eating plan you can follow the rest of your life, not a short-term diet. Check w/your registered dietitian.
