How Can I Lose Weight That I Have Gained Due To Diabetes ?
Hello, I am very desperate to regain my health and youth. I am 25 yr old and recently discovered I might have diabetes after YEARS of skin discoloration and tremendous weight gain over the past few years. I really need help in overcoming this I dont want to die I have a 4 year old and I am afraid if I dont get better I may not be around for her. I need to lose at least 100 lbs but I dont know where to start. I have lost all of my hair . I am constantly fatigued and extremely stressed. PLEASE HELP

thank you all for your insight. I am fairly new to this site so i didnt know how to update my post besides here. I am trying to stay positive. I have been taking my prescribed metformin but not much is different except my elimination has increased alot. I also take chromium and fish oil. and maybe biotin occasionally. i am moderately trying to exercise (20 min) daily until I can increase that also. I do suffer frequent headaches so somedays are better than others. I watched my grandmother succumb to this illness and I just dont want that to happen to me. I am feeling spritually lifted when i saw you guys responded to my post, Plz keep the encouragement and pointers coming I will respond back asap. thanx again and i will keep my progress posted. -xoxo
