Type 2 Inspiration

[armaco00]

Hello. I'm a 50 year old woman who was diagnosed as type 2 in 2013. I take insulin 4x per day, along with 2500mg of Metformin.
For years I've been struggling with a large stomach. Everything else has responded to exercise. I would love to hear from people, especially females, my age who have overcome what my daughter has lovingly named "The Beast".
Seems like a lost cause and I'm considering non-stimulant fat burners. Am feeling depressed and would love some advice and inspiration. Thanks so much

I lost 12 inches off my waist after diagnosis as I had been eating a 'healthy' high carb diet. I also lost a lot of weight. I cut out the carbs I'd been told were so good for me.
You would need to be very careful if you decided to do something similar with all the medication you are taking - but weight from eating (or drinking) carbs tends to accumulate around the middle.
I have had to replace all my clothes several times, or remake them.

I’m a male but I have lost over 26kg, reduced drugs and dropped form xxl to medium (size 40 waist to size 34) and still going

had to change my wardrobe 3 times so far. This is from lowering my carbs, checking calories a little and exercise bike 30 mins daily.

stomach is still on the way but it is stubborn. So I slightly understand.

so, I beleive insulin doesn’t make losing weight easy. What is your typical diet and exercise? Maybe others can offer advice

good luck!
