How many carbs and cal should a 59, 5'3"" diabetic take in a day. i also weigh 160 lbs a dam fairly active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: upon the number of carbs and calories you are eating currently. Your BMI is 28.3, which means that you are overweight. You should try to lose weight by readjusting your eating habits over time, which will make it more likely that you will maintain the weight loss. Weight loss should significantly help with your diabetes. Good luck! See: http://helpdoctorwtlosstips.blogspot.com/
