weight loss

Hi I'm a young adult type 1 diabetic and I know you gain weight in early adulthood but it's so noticeable that my clothes don't fit and in the past I've ignored how I felt about weight gain but now I cannot. How do I loose weight as a type 1 diabetic.

Hey everyone, I've been trying intermittent fasting (16/8) for about 3 weeks now, and I'm seeing some minor results, but I'm not sure if it's optimal.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 16 years old (I’m now 26) and I’m really struggling to keep a routine of looking after myself. I keep going through cycles of wanting to get on top of it so I start managing it really well but I start to put on weight and as soon as I notice that I just...

So, I currently do cardio workout at the gym (air bike, stairs and treadmill) that is apparently supposed to burn fat and it is working but only slowly. I was at 127kg and now I am 110kg and it took me 6 months. Which diet would help speed this process up?

It has been documented that in patients with BMI >25 (overweight and obese), a 15% loss of body weight can reverse T2 diabetes or prevent onset of diabetes in pre-diabetics. The difficulty is, losing this weight and maintaining it in the long-term is a huge challenge! As part of my masters...

I’ve been consciously trying to lose weight for the last few months and but have mostly stayed around the same weight. My consultant seems to think that as my diabetes control is good, I will struggle to lose any but I’m starting to get frustrated with this. I have been going to the gym a few...

Has anyone used metformin to speed up glacially slow last-mile weight loss? I'm now in normal-to-prediabetes territory after LCHF-assisted weight loss approaching 20 kilos (remission criteria met). However, I am still around 2.5 kilos short of my target weight, which I want to achieve to give...
