Suggest Treatment To Loose Weight For A Diabetic Patient

I have been diagnosed with diabetes, I am not taking meds, but trying to control it with diet. I don t eat any white things, like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar.. No processed foods. I eat nuts and granolas, and use honey for a sweetener .. No coffee or tea, and don t smoke.I have taken to walking about 3 times a day, and test my blood glucose daily. Take some vitamins, including a fruit smoothie with super foods powder everyday. I am 58, female and weight about 175.I have neuropathy in my feet, my skin is very dry, I have lost lots of hair and have fungus and blue toenails...I can t seem to lose weight and have a big mid section. Almost like I am bloated. About 8 years ago I had a really good check-up and was told I had 2 small spots on my liver. Could that be something causing me to not lose weight or have any bearing on my problems?

First of all get your latest fating, post-prandial blood sugar and HbA1c, your signs and symptoms indicate that your blood sugar level is not under control, you must start with a medication that will definitely provide you relief. For neuropathy take high dose vitamin B12 with combination of gabapentin. concentrate first on controlling blood sugar, blood cholesterol, blood pressure then regarding diet replace honey with sugar free tablets as a sweatner, take corn flakes, chapatti made of channa, soyabean and wheat flour. Take regular meals don't skip any ,do regular exercise, follow proper diet chart..........take care stay in touch.
