[QUOTE="Sweetie G, post: 192244, member: 34480"] I want some advice, I am diabetic type 2 on gliclacide and piroglitrazone I have a weight problem and I am slowly losing weight but today my doctor told me either I was eating to much or getting no exercise. I eat a diet of between 1400-1600 calories daily limiting it to under 40 grams of fat low carbs and slightly higher protein and of course plenty of vegetables and salad. My advised calorie intake is 1500-1700. I workout daily and walk 3 miles a day. In the last 6 weeks I have lost only 1.5lbs so what am I doing wrong is the doctor right or was she just patronising me and not listening (unfortunately a common experience since diagnosis 7 years ago). From all the recent research I have done on my condition and weight loss I believe that I am on the right path and it will be a slow progression. But this has now put doubts in my mind though I dont think cutting my calories below 1400 a day for my current weight would be healthy. Any advice gratefully received as I am now puzzled and doubting myself. [/QUOTE]
